I'm building a rod for a customer with a Batson RX8 IMMC72MH-TC Problem is, the customer wants the thread wraps to be the same color as the blank and I've tried every color I can find/think of and they are all off, wrong color, to much blue, to grey, you get the picture.
Anybody out there matched this blank with success? Thanks in advance! Lee Re: titanium build

use white silk and thin out the epoxy a bit. the wraps will go clear and the blank will show thru. Just a thought. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/05/2015 04:21PM by gary Marquardt. Re: titanium build

If you have a sewing/craft store nearby to you that handles Madiera (polyneon #40) thread go and give their selection a look. Madiera has hundreds of shades of thread available, many more shades than Mudhole shows in their catalog. Rog Re: titanium build

Lee,
I have used white silk on those very rods, as Gary has suggested. I didn't thin the first coat, but recommend that you do. Except for a couple bubbles, the wraps are clear, and blend with the rod. Take care, Chris Re: titanium build

Joel,
Good choice. I had the same search and came up with the same color. Re: titanium build

I used Gudebrod 441 and it was a good match for me. Re: titanium build

Hey Thanks guys, y'all are the best! That is a weird color for sure to match, I'll try all, as this is a "high" build and let ya know what comes out best for me.
Thanks again!! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
