I practiced the base wrap on a white piece using black nylon and white Pac Bay tru fast. The base ended up gray. Any suggestions on how to end up with sharp white and black tiger wrap. Thank you

After installing decal on blank how do you keep the edges down so epoxy does not get under media and raise, have now tore off three decals. I am using the silver sheet. Had to order more from Swampland this morning,not that that is bad. Thank you

Forum: rodboard

I saturated the thread with flexcoat cp.I did not thin it. I used cp because I thought it would hold the threads. Orange on a black blank.Maybe after it sits long enough it will come back. Thanks
Forum: rodboard

First different butt wrap pretty proud of it so decided to use cp,first time,to hold in place while finishing guides, etc. Just a wash out of color. Next time practice first, I guess. Also thought cp would hold my color.Used cp thread. What is normal practice? Thanks

Thanks Tom the light finally came on, no idea why I had a hard time with that.
Forum: rodboard

Sorry Tom, I just don't get it. Just hoping my renewal got thru..
Forum: rodboard

On page 9 on renewals "8-6" indicates LAST issue,on the front of the back cover "8-1" represents Mr.Rod Builder's last issue. I know I have just misunderstood one of these. By the way I am "8-6" I renewed about a month ago via internet, maybe just not cleared by your company. Sorry about my confusion.

I build 4 or 5 rods a year as a hobby so I use mostly pre made cork grips. Would it be wise to use oil on these handles or are they already oiled by the manufacture? Thank you
Forum: rodboard

I always use a small amount of fine glitter when I mix my epoxy never have I had to use heat to remove bubbles glitter seems to solve that problem. I just use the color of my guide wraps.
