I started my business this year (add to my day job). I'll try to build the Best Rod for the customer and give him options (if possible). I'll go slowly if needed, I want to do the best, and build technical rater than fancy Rod. Attention to détail is my goal, never had à customer complaining about price when they hold the resulting rod. Some ask for lower price in à first approach, I tell

Let your blank as it came to you. Just put à little wrap at transition betwen unsande/sanded portion if you wish. The blank is sanded at the put over section for better fit (a little longer for futur wear).
Forum: rodboard

For me in general yes (on Fiberglass I tend to add one).
Forum: rodboard

I'm with Roger don't like fancy wraps. On titanium dark thread with some inlays . Hope this help. Otherwise medium to dark Green without CP.

Forum: rodboard

This is the process i use, but it leave end tags showing ubder thread aftershave applying epoxy with out CP (wich i never use as i don't like the result, don't like NCP thread too).
Forum: rodboard

NCP (or ColorFast or Staytrue) thread no need color preserver. FC is fine, one coat too, 2 coat of lite too as 1 lite one heavy, find the most confortable for you and stick with it.
Forum: rodboard

I too like to learn your method Randolph.
Forum: rodboard

I was fortunate enough as the inside diameter of the tube match thé outsider diameter of the blank, so a dab of epoxy did thé job. Otherwise I should havé used foam arbor (shim).
Forum: rodboard

Here you have some requested Pictures I made an carbon insert with 15mm tubing ;-)

Pacific Bay size A thread.
Forum: rodboard

You sand it yet (wet) or you let it dry (how mouche time) ? Thanks.
Forum: rodboard

For me for the MHX Fly I build, use the Triangle Taper line number stated.
Forum: rodboard

If the Quickline action is good for you, way not stay with Quickline blank ? The MHX Fly F906-4-MHX IS very good too
Forum: rodboard

I'm too more than happy with the ProWrap offer (I don't use NCP and never use CP).
Forum: rodboard

Just don't use acetone with Fuji WCS winding check (don't ask me how I know).
Forum: rodboard

Minima 4 match frame 16/8/5 then Fly frame 3 thrue tip.
Forum: rodboard

I had very bad experience with Fishhawk. ProWrap is very nice, I only use the standard (no NCP) and it is very good, the Metallic is good too.
Forum: rodboard

Heavier than Minima 4. But High 16/8/5.5 then KT4 thru top is fine too.
Forum: rodboard

Minima 4 Match frame 16/8/5 then Fly frame size 3 thru tip ;-)
Forum: rodboard

You have the dealer you're locking for in France, Rodhouse ;-)
Forum: rodboard
