I received. My kit last week. It has a very short learning curve and is fun. I just finished doing a foam grip with no other finish. I applied TM lite and it should be OK after it cures. Next I am going to use it on a foam grip that has an elliptical which went bad. A great way to salvage grips. Thanks to Jeremy for brining us this product. Bill

I too have evry issue which was out to the public,(All but the first Two) I have never missed an issue and also had one tore up by the mail mans kids. Tom replaced it with in a couple of days. Tom goes out of his way to get things done right and on time. This is a magazine a true rod builder should not do with out. Bill Eshelman

within the hour, I ste up a new HP5525 all in one ink jet. I prtinted my first label on it and all is well with it. That is all I can tell you. My old Lexmark did pretty well too. I told the guy at the store that I was going to use it for decals and he said not to use a laser printer.

I know, i have trouble also. The alignment is not the problem, it`s the one corner catching just off the angle a little bit.

My first rod was a Cabela`s kit. With no mentor available and not a thought of any forums or U-tube, that was the way to start. Every possible thing you needed for the build was right there. Bill

I use my I-pad and forget to check it before sending. Half the time the space bar doesn'twork (see?) half the time it is the auto correct. The other half might be my fault. I I am good at math too. That's my story,. Period. Bill

When you open a new bottle close it back up and simply turn the bottle upside down. This will make a great seal and will not let moisture or air in. Mine has been opened about 18 months and still good.

I have three dryers which all turn at different RPM`s. Some say 6 rpm is better others say to use 18 rpm. For the life of me I cannot see a difference. I get the same results. Bill

Think about making the bench high enough to build standing up. Keep the chair out of the way and it should work fine. Bill

A few years ago someone made a post asking us to tell what unusual applications we have used Rod bond paste. (I think it was Billy) I know with the responses given I can`t see how anything could be better about it.

I have painted only a half dozen or so blanks. My best results came from the paint which is used on car bumpers. I t flexes with out chipping. It does require an adhesion promoter and a clear coat on top so several coats will be applied. Krypton for plastics is good also but not my preference. Do a search on top of this page. Be sure to check"All Dates" and hit "Search"

For your 1st build, I would not use micro guides. Only because they are hard to handle, especially for a new builder. Bill
