I use them for Lake Erie trolling with in line planer boards. Very sweet for this. Parabolic...no. But lotsa backbone & a fast action. I got mine from Karen at Bingham.

Do you have the particulars ( model #'s) on these blanks ? After a couple years rodbuilding hiatus, I have been recently asked about these & planer rods.

Like Putter said, you'll have to "fool" it. Take the metallic sticker off the black cart. & put it on the white cart. Then tell the printer to "spot color" in black...works every time :.} you also have to do that with the 2010.

Ralph, I use Rod Bond for repairing the wood in my pindecks in our bowling center. Dang tuff stuff ! It takes the riggers of balls & pins pounding it, without chipping out. If the faster glue is as tough, it;ll be GREAT !

Vapors are FLAMMABLE. Many a kitchen wall has been blown off the house cause somebody didn't turn off the pilot light in the range while putting down a new counter top. Fumes harmful ???? Spend a couple hours with Billy __:>}

Pulling tip tops is a "3 handed" job...put a screw eye in your wall somewhere(( open the eye with a plier))...hook the tip on that..then heat gently & pull gently. As SOON as it's "hot enough"..it'll release & is now a " 2 handed" task.Or , my Rednck way...drive a finishing nail in the wall & bend a hook in it...hang hat on it when not in use by tip tops.

just a heads -up.... PC stitch is popular, but, I found "Patternmaker" from hobbyware.com to be better.(?) Obviously, you can make a grid pattern from any image or text,& tweak the colors to your liking. If you get VERSION 4..it will print a list for Madeira polyneon
