hey billy Id like to know what kind of super tape you are using that you dont have issues with the thread sliding especially coming off the front grip.I am using the 3m stuff and I have always had small problem with some threads especially the metallics sliding as the wrap comes down onto the blank.these would be the threads going up to the right and down to the left(I think )they also tend to stretch a little when the water based cp is applied.I was shown to cp from the center out just past where the end wrap will be.if nessesary you can then pull the little bit of slack out of individual threads. After this dries I start end wrap and taper threads from wrap to be covered.This way nothing shifts. IF you have and easier way I*d appreciate hearing what it is.I have noticed that the threads all seem to slightly stretch when wet and the pattern will get a little loose but it shrinks back into place when it dries.This is why I recomended the gentle dabbing with paper towel so you dont shift anything out of place.I have only seen the haze you refered to when cp is applied and the excess is not taken off.I have been using the flex coat for a long time and have had pretty good luck with it but as soon as I use up the couple of Quarts of high build I have I think I will try the Aftcoat stuff.I dont think fish was talking about spaces but the show thru of the blue where it crosses under the red but maybe I misunderstood.Packing the threads is also a lot easier if the threads are done in multiple thread passes instead of individual ones.This gives a litle bit of a saw toothed pattern at the cross points but it looks good.I thought I saw this in the pattern he did but again i could be wrong.And again I will listen to what anyone has to say about how they do thier wrapping and I am willing to adapt to any method that is easier or works better.What Cp was it that you got the crystal look with? I tried the guderbrod stuff once that ha to be cut with alcohol and thought it was crap. I think it was 811 but not sure.
