Is there a way to make an epoxy ramp without a rod wrapper/dryer? I'm building my first rod with minimal overhead, nothing fancy just getting the parts together. When I drilled out my fighting butt the bit gouged out a bit of cork so I've got a void right where the blank enters. No big deal but now that it's on there it would be nice to conceal my noobery behind an epoxy ramp. Can it be done

Thanks to all for the information. After studying your kind replies and the Fuji guide spec chart (thanks for the link Michael) I modified the spacing to account for being short one runner. I came up with spacing: 3.75 - 4.25 - 4.75 - 5.25 - 5.75 - 6.7 - 7.9 - 9.7 (inches) 9.5 - 10.8 - 12.1 - 13.3 - 14.6 - 17.0 - 20.0 - 24.5 (cm) with 19" to the spool axle and 11" to the but

Greetings, I'm about to lay out my first rod. Building on a NFC blank, model FW 662-1(IM). After researching I bought guides according to the Fuji Guide Positioning Software and the recommendations of wise contributors to this forum. I've got: - KR 16H, 8H, 5.5M - KB 4.5 belly guide - 4x KT 4.5 running guides - LG 4.5 tip top I'll be using a Diawa Fuego LT 1000 and 5 lb braid.
