There's a guy on @#$%&, called rammrod30, selling rayon wrapping thread. Anyone know who makes it and somewhere else to get it??

Bill, Are you the one selling the purple blanks on @#$%&. I would have loved to have that 6' med.lt. to build for my wife (she loves purple). I just don't have the money. I bet they make great lookin' rods.

Pete, I'm a NEWBIE too, and watch these post's like a hawk. Seems like every day someone asks a question that is the same as one I have. I remember a post that said, if your using Rat Tail files/rasps, to chuck them up in your drill and run them in reverse. I guess it's not supposed to chew up the cork so bad. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.

Thanks for the back-up Putter, Whatever you have is fine, like I said, beggers can't be choosey.

Good Question????? LOL
Forum: rodboard

Is it as critical with RodBond to mix 1:1 as it is with thread epoxy? Also, (Begging again) Does anyone have a roll or part of roll of NCP Black thread (A) they wouldn't mind parting with?

I went to the BassMasters Classic at the Greensboro collosium a few years back. If this show is even close to that one, you'll need both days and then some to see everything.

I wanted to thank Spencer Phipps, Mick McComesky, and Ray Mazza for their help with supplies to help me get into this great "Art", and it is an art IMO. I still need a few things if someone would care to share a little, such as these others have. I still need some Rod Bond epoxy, and some cork. Mick, and Spencer sent some cork foregrip and butt grip, but they're too small for what I

Go to the Mudhole site (Rodbuilding 101) Artie Hebert addresses this very subject on a nice peice of "Free" video. Worth the watch. IMO

How do know what length of handle to put on a spinning rod? Is there a standard published somewhere. I ask this because I took a 6'6" vintage solid fiberglass rod to a man once to be redone and he put a 4 1/2" butt grip and a 2" fore grip. The balance is waaay off. He used EVA and I'd like to rebuild the handle and use cork. What length should I use?

Ray, Guess what, you and I are the same age. I have a very good rep. who said that she feels sure she can get my benefits without going through the hearing. It just takes time. You wouldn't believe how much I am hoping that it comes through in time for the Charlotte show. I want to go soo bad!! I kinda got the message and reposted when 1 guy emailed me. I'm keeping a list and whoever sen

Thanks to those who responded. I can understand how people can think "Oh he's just looking for a hand out" with all the frauds that are perpetuated today. I can assure you, I am not looking for a hand OUT, just a hand UP. Some of the ones who responded wanted to know why I was disabled. I have diabetes and developed neuropathy in my feet and legs to the point that I can no longer

Huh!!! 88 views and no offers to help me? I thought better of this group. I'm not trying to rip anyone off or give a sob story. I just wanted to see how many might be willing to help a beginning rodmaker who's down on his luck right now. If it's any more incentive, I'll keep track of who sends me what and pay them back as soon as I can get some money coming in. Please won't someone help me

Go to the Mudhole site on the left, and under the rodbuilding 101 topic, take a look at the Artie Hebert video the have listed there. It covers just this very topic and you can watch how he does it.

Yea, I went to their link. They don't have a supplier in WV where I live. The dealer search said Jann's Netcraft was the closest to me. But, Jann's doesn't list U-40 products in their catalogu, just Flex-cote. I need to know who distributes for them. Thanks, Bill in WV
