epoxy on my Rodmaker apron. Better than on my $120 slacks, I guess, but not much. It just amazes me how that epoxy get's all over the place when I am being so careful in mixing and applying the stuff. I put a big chunk of cardboard on the floor in front of the bench just to make sure it don't get on the carpet in the spare bedroom workshop.

Well, that's what it's for. I think I have maybe a dozen or so left and will bring them to Charlotte.

.......

Tom:
how much are they?

I'll probably let them go for $15 each. But please don't ask me to do a mail order - I would like to have these for the National Show attendees. Thanks.

I tend to forget to wipe the butt of the rod off after gluing the rear grip on and then, after gluing the reel seat and arbors on, notice those rings of glue on my shirt... arrggghhhhh!! LOL!!

Got a few shirt tails epoxied from leaning into a rotating rod on the dryer! Not that I mind epoxy on an old shirt, but it sure reaks havoic on what use to be a nice butt wrap!

You beat me to it. However: It's only a formal affair for fly rod builders. The rest of us slouches wrap wearing ripped up jeans and stained tee shirts.

Amen!! Preach on Brother Vivona!!
