Nice wrap. Simple not over complicated.

Is the blue regular nylon letting it get darker with finish? Size? How do you feel about the metallic as a full underwrap wrt the finish soaking thru enough for good blank adhesion?

I have never worked with the Ti guides sounds like abrasives stones don't work so good. Is a good file the best option.

IMO guide foot prep is so often overlooked. The finer the taper the easier it is to run the thread up, esp. if using size A.

I haven't wrapped a rod in about 2 years, what are you guys using for thread lately since Gudebrod is out.....Prowrap?
