I am gonna have to do the team viewer thing, windows has changed too much for me to work with since I used it last. Been using mac since 2011. I might need to update windows because I followed the steps to the letter. Twice. I will update windows on my mac and see if it works.

I have a set of forecast reamers but I need larger ones because I am building a shark rod and it is like an inch wide. What is available to ream out a piece of eva that large?
Forum: rodboard

I used Dupli Color spray paint and UP40 to give a good finish, just make sure you allow the paint to fully cure and move fast with the UP40.

-- My buddy ordered a 400.00 st. Croix legend rod. I wanted to know if anyone knew what this handle was made of? I figured i could duplicate it if I knew what the material was. It looks like plastic.

I put in on my power rod wrapper spin it very fast and use a paintbrush. Works wonderfully
Forum: rodboard

Sand, primer, spray can of duplicolor, allow it to cure, then a quick coat of permagloss.

Are we going to get any updates? I figured we would have heard something after a month.
Forum: rodboard

NO, just you two threads of the same size on top and one of them is the sacrificial thread.
Forum: rodboard

Forum: rodboard

Yes, kinda. Wrap the base threads with Yellow Black and white, or orange black and white. I got some funky colors using a top thread of different colors.
Forum: rodboard

Ok as long as they will help me find the right blank to match the Veteran's interest. Not really looking forward to painting it myself though lol .
Forum: rodboard

Never worked with a liberty blank before I would rather not Guess at the performance of them and use a blank I know exactly what type/length/ size and action to get. Although it does look like they have A LOT of blanks of different types.
Forum: rodboard

Oh the CP ya I definitely used the one you can't say here, which I have no idea why. I just used it to coat a road blank too. Good Stuff
Forum: rodboard

I think I will enter it, I should have plenty of time in November to complete a build. And the expo is only 5 hours from me. I am veteran myself so it will be fun. Not sure about liberty blanks though.
Forum: rodboard

I can't remember, all I do remember is that the CP turned one pink thread almost red in color. this one kinda dulled the pink. I think it was fish hawk thread. I used it on Voodoo dual colors and it worked great.
Forum: rodboard

I put the CP on the base wrap, let dry then I put many light coats of epoxy. The overwrap I put the thread on with sacrificial, burnish, remove Sac. Thread, then put CP on the main thread. Let it dry and put epoxy on it. Turned out well.

We will be given specific information as to the Branch, and specialty MOS of the service member? and is everyone building on the same blank?
Forum: rodboard

Yes the pattern makes sense, never had a problem understanding the patter, the problem is actually making the pattern. I guess what I don't get is how to set up the pull through strings to ensure that after I put, "1 line of LT blue" I have a loop already set up to tuck it under. Something tells me there is an easier way. Just too inexperienced to see it. DB

I searched for shading and got nothing
Forum: rodboard

Can someone explain to me how I would accomplish a fad wrap like this: []. I understand the color patterns, but I don't understand how to physically accomplish it. Any help would be appreciated. The only fade wraps I can do is when I run two different color lines together, but that is not the pattern that looks very nice.

I don't believe you would have to go in tip first, you would simply pinch the glove tighter as you went up the rod.
Forum: rodboard

I believe there was a gentleman who posted on this forum that had some sort of rod stand and using some sore of rubber glove with a puncture in it, put the glove at the base of the rod filled it up like a cup and just pushed the glove straight up, the slit in the glove worked like some sort of squeegy.

Its ok guys I just went out and bot some casting resin. Going to chop some eva foam winding checks to make the mold.
Forum: rodboard

REC? I went here and they don't have one size thats over 20 mm.
Forum: rodboard

I should have been more clear. I can find rubber winding checks, what I need is plastic winding checks or metal. I am considering making my own molds but sounds like alot of head ache
Forum: rodboard

--Hey guys, I really do not want to build my own winding checks because it looks difficult to do. But I cannot find 22mm or larger winding checks anywhere. I have found them as large as 20. But they have to exist. I seen them on other surf rods with split grips. If I find one then I can actually mold it. Does anyone know if someone sells winding check molds by any chance. Let me know. I
Forum: rodboard

Best way I have found to do this is to use CITRISTRIP, put it on the epoxy and I wrap it in in a rubber surgical glove the next day it comes right off.
Forum: rodboard

but did you use a clear coat from a spray can?
Forum: rodboard

So you used Rustoleum, and Rustoleum Gloss clear in a Paint spray can? And there was no problems with it cracking off under flexing of the rod?
