I’m in the process of wrapping my first rod using this wrapper. The upper rollers on both of the spring loaded rod supports make no contact with the blank. Hence the blank just rests on the two lower rollers. Are there any alterations that can be made to have those upper rollers hold the blank in place. I don’t see myself wrapping any rods thick enough for these rollers to work with the current s
