Hi Robbie
Good to see you checking us out. Welcome aboard. What are you doing since Fishhawk?
I was wondering how the threadless wraps were done but I have been too busy to research it.
I hope you stick around.
Pat

Thanks Pat!! I enjoying checking out this site as I have some good friends here and I enjoy watching the progress of R.F.S. I am also looking to get into building this year so I am searching for ideas, etc!!
In regards to "threadless wraps", use 3/0 white or natural silk. Your finish will be a 50-50 mix of denatured alcohol and your favorite light build finish. The wraps will disappear and it will appear that your guides are floating on the blank. Other colored silks will turn transluscent but white will disappear. It is an awesome look and loved by bamboo builders...although I also like the look on graphite or pretty glass blanks. NOTE....it might take 2 days for the finish to dry as denatured alcohol or acetone will slow things down but it is worth it! Do not use CP!

Robbie, First thanks for the reply.

and yes i was planning on doing a "version" of the invisible wrap to go along with my scrimshawed elk horn section for my rod handle.

i was going to try and get some of it done for this weekend at FTU's rod builders show but still being a beginner it may take longer,heheh .

Robbie, thanks , i just emailed Scott and he is sending a spool out.

if your into a short chat we have a test chat program working off of the main TRB web site.

not knowing Terry but having only seen his work on the web i did try and email him but no answer.

my work is crude compared to his but lets see if i can post a pic here for ya but its not finished yet.

I agree...very nice look! I look forward to seeing the finished photos.

If my boogie shoes were big enough then I would be there for sure!! Rumor has it that I will need to head to Houston soon...how far is that from rattlesnake skin central?
