Couldn't figure out if this wrap was in Billy's book. But I figured out how to do it. Pro wrap thread on a Lamiglas inshore blank.

The main colors on my tiger wrap are brown, od green and dark yellow. Can I use a color from the main wrap for my single second overwrap or should the color be of great contrast? Thanks, Tim

I understand it calculates the length but the vw length is not gonna be where I measured the diameter of the blank.

I input the butt & tip diameters and then the amount of spaces but I never get the same length as my measured length. How is my wrap supposed to close if I can't get the same length from VIZ-Wrap?

Not quite sure I fully understand your question but if your epoxy is creeping up onto your cork; this what I do. When applying the epoxy stay away from the cork or winding checks at first. after you have epoxied the middle of your wrap use a smaller size brush to work the epoxy up to the edges. Turn the rod by hand and not with a dryer.

At the ends of my crosswrap working towards the center the of the wrap, for about three crossovers the madiera thread loosens and becomes puffy. Am I using too much tension? Thanks
