Ofer,
Sometime ago we experienced the same problem but on a much larger scale. That experience has taught us it was the Pac Bay thread, not your technique.
In a rod building class Mud Hole was teaching with about 30 students who had never built a rod, Mud Hole started using PB thread because GB was no longer available. The 30 students wrapped Pac Bay nylon thread (size D & each student had their own spool and color), the wraps looked fine. When the 30 students applied CP to the wraps, all 30 of the students started having problems with the wraps coming lose and the guides began falling off. As you can imagine this was very frustrating to new students (and the instructors) all having to re-wrap guides which had taken them hours to wrap in the first place. Needless to say the class ran longer than expected but the rod got completed.
We had never experienced this problem before (and we have taught well over 1,000 students in several hundred classes around the US). So when MH returned to the from the class, we did some testing with several brands of thread, with and without CP. We found the PB Nylon thread would loosen up, or unravel and the guides come lose and fall out. We concluded based on the class experience and our testing it was the PB thread. We no longer use PB thread in the classes. We switched to ProWrap and have not had any further problems. Good luck with your future builds.
Regards.
