Hello all. wish I was down at the expo, but I will hope to make it next year!! I think I may have turned my wood down a little too much on my first seat. How much play should I have under the hoods? I assume I can make this up with tape but just making sure. Here is a pic: Thanks! Scott

I think your right i prob put too much pressure on it live and learn i guess. Should be ok though i think. What do you think i should cover it with. Thanks again

Well, got it together and turned! Loving the look but as you can see in pic number 2, it started to seperate. It was a clean break, so I cleaned it up and redid it with contact cement, Seems fine to me, and strong. Anything I should worry about? Also, how do you think I should cover it / treat it? Thanks again for all the help!

Evening all. Just turned my first real seat. In the middle, I was thinking of putting a small decal, and then of course finish it over with epoxy. Has anyone done this, or is it a bad idea? Thanks in advance Scott

Hi all, I did a search for this but couldn't find anything. Is it ok to combine the two, or no? I was thinking a cork handle with a simple EVA inlay or two. Thanks!
Forum: rodboard

That is awesome, thanks for sharing Barry! Have to head to the depot today so I will pick one up.
Forum: rodboard

Mike, thanks so much for that info, I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. Sounds very similar to what I do with the decal paper/liquid leaf, but with different paper, and different results as in I like yours better. Thank you again, I really appreciate it. Scott
Forum: rodboard

Thanks Billy I will definitely pick that up!
Forum: rodboard

Thanks so much Tom.

Hi all, can someone tell me which issue was on the eva inlays that I think Billy V wrote? Only issue I can not find!! I blame the wife. Thanks. Scott
Forum: rodboard

thank you
Forum: rodboard

first off, thanks about the email, didnt know! also, thanks for the information, much appreciated. I need to get some white decal vinyl. So, the blue I see is from the wraps that have been epoxied?
Forum: rodboard

Michael, that looks great!! What is underneath it? And you said it was yellow perch skin?
Forum: rodboard

this was my first attempt at decal paper, with gold liquid leaf underneath it.
Forum: rodboard

With the white waterslide, do you have any thread, paint or finish underneath? I had tried the clear waterslide paper and you basically couldnt see anything on the rod! I use the mailing label on liquid leaf as I mentioned above, but would love to be able to do a graphic like that!
Forum: rodboard

I currently use the mailing labels over liquid leaf. I will post some photos, comes out real nice but not as brilliant as some. James, is that Waterslide paper you used in the Ranger Rod? It is beautiful! if so, what did you do under it? Thanks!
Forum: rodboard

oh yes, i used my jig, plenty of pressure, but thanks!
