Wrapping Thread on Guides

[MigAz]

For the experts: How do you tie off the thread at each end when wrapping the guide before epoxy?

My ends "pooched out" a bit and didn't turn out as smooth as I'd like for the my first attempt.

Thanks for any feedback!

It's actually pretty easy to do but hard to explain without showing you. Here's a few link's to some pictures explaining. Also you can go to Mudhole.com and click on the rodbuilding101 link and there is quite a bit of instructional info.

Excellent, Dave! Thanks for the links.

Miguel...

I have a DVD that I produced that will show you how to wrap your guides and many other topics. It was intended for a "Repair" DVD, but there is a great deal of information that will pertain to rod building, as well. You can purchase it directly from: http://www.mudhole.com

Hope that helps....George
