Tiger wrap question
Posted by: Robin Barnes (---.lightspeed.hstntx.sbcglobal.net)

I have a question:

If I was to wrap orange and silver as my under wrap, and white and the sacrificial thread, would this make it primarily orange?

I know that I could do say orange and white as under wrap, then orange and the sacrificial would be orange, but would show the black underneath.


Rod is white and orange.....and that is all the colors I want....


Please help...


Thanks in advance


Robin

The bottom wrap determines the intensity of the effect, the top wrap determines the primary color.

You can read the original articles on this technique in the online library on this site. They have quite a bit of detail on colors and what does what.

Oh yeah - the color of the sacrificial wrap makes no difference - you are removing it.

Thanks for the info Tom...

I read that, and I am still a little confused........on the cover of that issue I see there is a wrap that is red and white, that's what I am trying to get just instead of red I want orange.....

Then you need to use orange in your top wrap, not the bottom.
