I ve done black- silver. Blak nylon and siver metallic underwrap and cp, then black nylon overwrap with no cp. But it looks more black with silvery background. If u want gold to be main visible colour try black white ncp under and gold metallic overwrap, but i dont know how metallic thread is good for outer leyer. Someone should know better Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

Hi Sergiy,
I actually want it to appear more black than gold. After the under wrap you used CP. May I ask why? I was under the impression this is where the first coat of epoxy was applied? Possibly even two coats for added depth? Thank You, Chris Tulk Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

Yep, 2 coats of epoxy. You can do even more. Cp- i use most of the time even on ncp thread. Not saying its needed, but i get much less bubbles forming under epoxy and dont even need to use flame. Just gentle blow from a mouth to straw and they gone. I dont use cp for outer leyer only because i may disrupt pattern by moving thread with brush. Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

Try black and gold under with black over. It will be subtle but it will look black with a gold background. Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

Thanks Guys for the input. I am going to go with black and gold under with 2 coats of epoxy and black over.
One other question do you burnish the under thread any special way? Thank You, Chris Tulk Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

There is an artical in the Library above right Check it out good info
Plus you may be better to try several colors on a scrap piece of blank or old rod Just to see if it will come out as you want Bill - willierods.com Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/03/2014 07:29PM by bill boettcher. Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

Thanks Bill. I did read the library article. Also watched a couple videos on youtube.
Regarding color the theme of the rod is black and gold so I an kind of stuck with those colors. Thank You, Chris Tulk Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

I don't know if it will work great for tiger wrap but red looks great with black and gold to me. Re: Tiger Wrap Colors

Hi David
I like the color combo also. Are you thinking the under wrap as black gold and red then black over wrap? Re: Tiger Wrap Colors
