Hi everyone,

I'm very please to see so many people here, a big hello to you. This is my 1st post after not registering proper.. thanks for all kind directions to sucessfully register, thanks. I've been doing simple thread work, on the other hand there seems to be space between the threads . What are the steps i'm missing for compacting threads. Please advise, hopefully when it's completed i may share with everyone here.

PArt of teh problem many peopl ehave is they pack threads way too soon abd often. Lay down more thread then pack it. Ifyouleave the wrap open, the last passod thread will often slide and leave a gap - the reason for that is there are no threads wrapped over it and locking it in place. IF you are going to use CP there is aneasy fix for that, just make 2 or 3 more passes of thread than you want, apply CP. When the CP dries pull those last 2-3 passes off, adn apply 1 more coat of CP. Thoese extra threads will be all youneed to pack teh actual thread in the pattern tight.

thanks for the extra passes cp trick billy. pretty good idea ill have to remember that next time i get around to doing a dec wrap.

thanks Billy, for sharing the cp tips. Gave me clearer perspectives at the same time it does paint more meaning to the blank i'm thread working on.

Brandon good luck on your next wrap, cheers
