Hello everyone, I have done a few rods in the past and now I would like to teach myself how to add some accent threads (wraps) to my guild wraps and am wondering if anyone can piont me in the right direction on info for this type of wrapping . thanks guys from Ontario Canada.

I'm copying this from what I posted last fall. There are also articles in back issues of RodMaker magazine:

I've homed in on a really good method for trim wraps where you tape down the pull-through loop on the blank first, wrap the trim band over that, pull through (works fine for 3 to 6 turns, or more if you want, I don't), now you have tag ends on both sides of the trim. Pull them carefully until they come together, you can then apply tension, as much as you want, at 180 degrees from each other, 45 degrees relative to the blank at both sides (these angles are important), you now have a nice and snug trim band that you can move with your thumbnail into place, tugging at the tag ends whenever necessary to keep it together. Just before you snug it up against the main wrap, cut off the tag end flush at that side (I use an Exacto blade, change blades often). Then cut the other tag end, leaving a bit a bit sticking out (scissors or nail clip), cut it snug just before you epoxy (Exacto).

Never fails for me now, almost never anyway. This was described on the board more than a year ago, don't know how to direct you to it. Hope this is clear. There are other subtle points in doing this that you will pick up as you go along.

There are two invaluable books available, by Dale Clements and Tom Kirkman which you can buy. These books have more information than you can imagine on wrapping. Highly recommended.
