Looking pretty good

Thanks Fishhead. I ended up buying a PacBay wrapper. The wrapper has been working great. I hand wrapped the underwraps, but it sure would of been nice to have the power wrapper for that part.

The rod build is coming along and looking good. Here are a couple pics of the first guidewraps after one coat of Aftcote. I only CPed the ends of the wraps that will be exposed after the second guidewraps in hope to have better penetration of the epoxy to the guide feet. I am not sure this matters, but you can also see the difference between NCP with and without one coat of Flexcoat CP. Next wrap will be dark blue plain nylon in hopes of a vibrant second guidewrap. You can see the acid wrap turn. This guide position seemed to work perfect when loaded to 30 pounds prior to the wrap (Grescobia made for a good doorknob).
