Absolutely. I've used rods the morning after putting epoxy on. Most will say 2-3 days curing before use.

From one newbie to another I bought Tom's book, 2 Clemens books, & Billys book. Each book has a lot of the same things but explained in slightly different ways. For me Billys book was very easy to understand if you take the time and go through it slowly. Don't try to cram too much into your head at once lol.

Doing a tiger wrap on a build for my cousin and I think I might have a problem. Under is PAC bay cherry red & chrome. I planned on doing met red on top but after reading a lot of posts saying it's not a good idea to use met threads on top I'm not sure what I should do. Any color recommendations? Don't want to use black because my last tiger was way too dark.
