Couple questions

Hi everyone. I have two quick questions.

1. Where can I buy a thin metal ruler like the one Pat Vinzant shows in his snakeskin pdf tutorial?

2. One does not need to place CP on metallic thread, correct? I'm using Fishhawk gold metallic on one of my wraps and I thought that I could remember reading in this forum that CP is not necessary on metallic thread.

Thank you.

Charles,

Thats correct you will not need to use cp on the mettalic threads to retain there luster, only the nylons (non NCP) , silks and polyesters. So if you mix the mettalic with the others, cp wont effect your mettalic color.

Charles I got a small steel rule at Staples. They had a few different ones, some large some small.
