I have been printing my own waterslide decals with good results as far as adhesion and coverage with finish.The problem I am having is the text.It is pixelated.I use Paint.net to print my text.Is there something I am missing or is this just the nature of printing text from a computer program.Thanks
Forum: rodboard

Thanks everyone.I suppose like everything else in this craft there will be a learning curve.I like a good challenge.
Forum: rodboard

Is anyone out there printing their own waterslide decals?I am wanting to try it.I have the paper coming, white and clear for inkjet printers.Have been looking for the Krylon Acrylic sealer recommended but so far have only been able to find it in a satin finish.Is this what I need or is there a gloss formula?Is there a substitute I could use?Any info or tips are greatly appreciated.Thanks to all.

Is it possible/acceptable to stop at the wetting out process to maintain the textured feel on carbon fiber grips?I have two customers who would rather have the feel of the texture rather than smooth surface.Any protective coats needed? Dave White

I am getting ready to try my first foam core grip and was wondering if regular fiberglass cloth would work as well.A seam is not of concern as I am planning on painting or pigmenting the resin/epoxy.Are there different weights of cloth?Also can decals or stickers be coated over with the resin used for this application?Thanks for any info shared.

Not realizing that the main door prize registration was also being used for gathering information as to who was or who was not a rodbuilder I for one was not counted as a rodbuilder in attendance.Didn't need a kayak.Surely I wasn't the only one,maybe so.In any case let the record show there were at least 1581 rodbuilders in attendance at this exceptional event.

Hello all.Hope everyone had a great time at the rod show.I wish Jesse and his family the best.Wasn't able to attend but you will see me there next year.I am in the market for a new lathe.I have been looking pretty hard at Jet's variable speed mini lathe.Any opinions,shortcomings?How about chucks? I have been using Andy Dear's mandrels on my Grizzly mini lathe but had to shorten them.Sorry Andy.I

Has anybody used this stuff.I have a bottle of it that I bought when I first started building.Thought I had to have it all.Anyway,is this like Permagloss.It says it is used for covering light scratches on rod blanks.Would it be suitable for a cover coat?Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Forum: rodboard

I have been talking to some local body shops about painting blanks for me and I have found one that will for what I feel is very reasonable.Are all automotive paints suitable for painting blanks?Is a coat of clear enough protection or should the blank also be coated with permagloss?Any info is greatly appreciated.Merry Christmas to all.

I just received a grizzly hackle cape.Very nice.My question is what is the best way to seperate the feathers from the hide.Wil they pull out or do you clip them close to the hide.Any info is greatly appreciated.

Can anyone tell me where I might get some brown and tan twist thread?Is there still such a thing?I have seen this on older rods and would like to wrap some guides on a cream colored rod with some.Any info is greatly appreciated.Thanks
Forum: rodboard

I am thinking about triing some madeira mettallic thread and was wondering if it is made the same way as the rest of metallic threads I have used,or is the metallic look accomplished by some other process than a thread with an inner core.Any info is greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Can anyone reccomend a saw to use with the checkerboard jig that Custom Tackle sells?Has anyone tried using these as a thickness jig?I was thinking a person might be able to shim a ring out to a desired thickness and slice.Any info or tips is greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hello all,Does anyone have any tips they could share on filling cork.What kind of glue is reccomended?I use titebond III to glue my rings together.I tried mixing this and some cork dust and it filled pretty good but is darker than the rest of the ring.Is there something I could tint with?Could I use a clear two part epoxy as a binder?Seems that might be a mess to work with though.Does coarseness
