I think Pacific Bay had them 8 years ago, or so, might try through buy/sell section to keep your need visible longer where people who may have some can see it. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

You could attempt to make a camo paint on a foam grip. Not sure how feasible it is but might not be a bad alternative. Just when adding the paint I would think to use pigments that dont blend and keep the picking of the colors to a minium while the rod turns. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Thanks Ken.
Before I do that I will chop-up some single color strips of red white & blue, mix them up and incase them in acrylic, or glue them to a grip like flocking and then encapsulate in epoxy or MAYBE PG, not sure yet. You got any Ideas? Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines. Bob, New Bern, NC. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Hi Robert,
I don't know if this is still available, but I happened to see this video the other day: [youtu.be] I have not used it. Looks like Mudhole has it: [www.mudhole.com] Take care, Chris Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/02/2017 11:10AM by Chris Herrera. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Mudhole has different colored cammo grips, I know one color is blue.
Good luck. Stan Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Hello Chris & Stan.
Chris, that is a thought to be added to the possible list, while Stan MudHole carries Blue, White & Black, not the Red, White & Blue of the American Flag. Thanks for the help but I am going to keep looking! Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines. Bob, New Bern, NC. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Hello All.
I was just puttering around on the board and read a post from Ken Brown2 about marbling cork, and Norm Miller suggested Pac Bay "Molded Polyurethane Foam Grips" from MudHole, AH-HA, what about a home made foam grip covered with FG tubing from Riley Rods with white color pigments in the wet-up, sand, paint white, then dip-marble with red and blue pigments, let it dry then cover it all in 3 or 4 coats of PG? Am I missing anything, any suggestions or comments? Any help or comments will be appreciated. Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines. Bob, New Bern, NC. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Bob,
I was looking at that recently as well. I think that might work well for the pistol grip that I want to work on. We shall see. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

That's me and my daughter, Maddie, in that video. That was many moons ago. Maddie is where the mad-swirl gets its name. The grips in the Mud Hole link are grips I did. Some of the grips are rigid pour foam, and some is over eva. If you decide to try that route, feel free to give me a shout if you need any help. I also help the distributor distribute the paint and troubleshoot any issues that arise in rodbuilding for them. Re: Red, White & Blue Camo?

Hello Jeremy.
Thanks, but I'm going to try two different techniques (Frankensteining some EVA together & Flocking) and see which I like better. How ever I will be using some "Mad Swirl" paint on some future builds. Thanks Again. Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines. Bob, New Bern, NC. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
