Thanks guys for the kind words. This one was kicking my butt, it took three tries to get the colors right on the wrap. Then I couldn't get the finish level, I finally broke down and bought a Batson wrapping lathe from Utmost and can't beleive the difference it made getting the epoxy layed down. The three rods that I've done since have come out much better than I have ever had and with less work. I should have done it years ago.
