What do you do when you have to stop in the middle when using hand wrapper. Re: long underwrap 12"

Keep a masking tape dispenser nearby and tape the rod to the wrapper with the thread under tension. When you come back, unwind 5-7 wraps and continue. Re: long underwrap 12"

Put a small piece of painters tape, the blue stuff right where the wrap ends, don't wrap it all the way around, just enough to keep the thread from coming loose. I wrapped at least 100 rods by hand, and that was my way of saving work. Don't worry, it won't affect they wrap and won't leave a residue. Re: long underwrap 12"

I usually just loosend the tension just enough the thread didn't want to pull the blank out off the rollers and walked away. Once back to the bench just wind 3-5 revolutions back onto the spool and start wrapping again. Re: long underwrap 12"

I take a piece of tape from the frame of the wrapper to the rod. This keeps the rod in the wrapper, and the thread in tension. I use painters tape. Chris Richer Iroquois ON Re: long underwrap 12"

you can end the wrap just as a guide wrap put the pull loop under the rod
You can if wrapping from left to right push the thread to the right with 2 - 3 large spaces then put a strip of tape over the blank and thread to hold it Bill - willierods.com Re: long underwrap 12"

I was wondering because i ended my wrap by pulling loop under 5 wraps and when i came back next day it had come loose. Re: long underwrap 12"

In that case you can Hold the wrap Undo about 4" of the thread Tighten the rest up buy pulling on that end
Don't break it Bring the 4" around the blank in large spaces 3 - 4 put a piece of tape on to hold it Start the wrap again close to the end Wrap 6 - 7 turns locking it in Take the tape off Take that tag end and tighten it up Nothing should come loose if tight enough pack trim the tag end and continue the wrap This way you don't have to rewrap the whole thing I do it this way when adding several colors to a wrap Also sounds like you may need more tension on the thread That is probably why it came loose Bill - willierods.com Re: long underwrap 12"

I think you're right Bill when I was burnishing guide under wraps they came loose to. This is my first time with under wraps I was worried about being able to pack them tight enough so I loosened the tension. Re: long underwrap 12"

Hi Paul,
You can pack your underbind by holding a burnishing tool up against it as you wrap. Works with power and hand wrappers and saves some time. Guide legs make it difficult to do with an overwrap but it's great for long underbinds and guide underbinds as it gets everything well packed.

Col,
I only use a power wrapper. When doing long wraps or underwraps, I generally hold the thread at about a -20 degrees to the end of the wraps. As a result, I typically have no need to burnish, except for the very end of the wrap, where I burnish the thread lock. Roger Re: long underwrap 12"

If you can burnish your guide wraps, then there is no issue with not being able to burnish your underwrap with the same tension used. I'm pretty much the same as Roger...underwraps usually don't require much of any burnishing. Re: long underwrap 12"

Roger,
I only use a hand wrapper, I'm not in a hurry. The method I indicated is simple to do and ensures everything is packed the same whether it needs it or not. ESFNEM Col Port Kembla, NSW Australia Re: long underwrap 12"
