Photo Details
Terry LaValle Registered: April 2007 Location: Grand Rapids, MN Posts: 12	I need some advice. Am I on track here? This is the second one done. Used shrink tubing. So, when it comes time to cut the ends, how does one "tuck the skins into the handle or cut them close to the grip. Then what? Some epoxy? Just trying to picture how the skin attaches to the grip and what process is involved in doing so...

The skin is parted off per the instructions in Volume 11 #1 RodMaker. Part off just barely beyond the ends of the core. This leaves the skin rounded over the end and the remaining foam that shows near the center is hidden by the seat, winding check or butt cap. Photos of the process will be in the Volume 11 #4 RodMaker due out in August.
