I had a topic about a week or more ago about micros I had wrote down CRB, but was mistaken, the are called Nanomicros, cnmg, bnmg, and nmg, they are the ones without the ring inside, I am just womdering since this is the first time I had seen them, has anyone built with them yet? I am having a hard time with the size one, and two for that matter, to keep them on the rod for wrapping, the feet are to small for the rubber bands, especially near the tip, and for some reason the guide glue does'nt work on these guides, maybe its my glue stick, but they just fall right off after I glue them. ant suggestions will help greatly, Thanks.

What many do is start the wrap and then stick the foot edge under the wrap. This holds them while you complete the wrap.

I don't have an issue with very thin strips of tape, same tape and method as any other guide ... just thinner strips.

Ues the rubber bands that they put on braces ( teeth ), the ultra small ones. Slide them over the foot of the guides to hold them in place. After wrapping half way up the guide foot just cut the rubber band off.

I just start the wrap, place the tip of the foot underneath the wrap & continue wrapping.
I've got a set of them that I'll be using in the next few days.

I finished wrapping my first rod with CRB Nano-micro #2 guides this weekend. I found that it was relatively easy to slide the guide back after I wrapped it half way.
