My concern now is whether or not to go back and undo/re-do some of the wraps since some are a tad longer than others even though I tried to keep them even. It was a bit of a struggle so I'm not keen on that much but...you know how it is. I have to look at my work for a long time.
The silks are white which means they'll finish to clear so "maybe" redoing them isn't totally needed...??....thinking out loud here. As much as I hate to, I'm likely going to have to clean a few up but I'm not looking forward to that. I know it'll bug me if I don't though, dangit.
My advise, rewrap the section. I don't follow my own advise half the time. The rod will fish fine, but if it is going to bother you, re-do it now.
So are you using bright white silk or a natural/tan like #214. Bright white has the tendency to turn blueish.
I look forward to seeing pictures of the finished product.
Carl, I'm using YLI 100 in #212 white which I believe will turn clear with Flex-lite and DA mixed. I'll find out.
I do think I'll rewrap the portions that are a bit longer than the rest although they aren't terribly bad, just enough to bug me.
You guys likely wouldn't think twice about it! I didn't wanna post pics but I will when it's done.
I'm fishing tomorrow. A Payne 100 from the 30's, a real one. First time out with her for me.
