Almost down to the blank
If you get back 5ft you can't even see the wood filler.
It looks better than these pictures show. They don't do it justice

At bottom of cork, but I forgot to put it on before the gimbal knob butt.
I still might try but don't think the shrink tubing will shrink that small on the blank.

You only need one coat of u-40 cork sealer.

Holding the micro guides and then slide it up on to the blank, under the line. At your China mark. Give it a few wraps to hold it in
place.
Adjust straight 💯 with your tip and reel seat.
And finish wrapping

I made. It makes for hands 🙌 free tension on the guide and l can wrap the guide as tight as i want.

And Sunday 46% chance in Sandy eggo

A couple of guides in the morning 🌄
And then jig holder and my spiral wrap.
And should be ready for flexcoat resin I'm going to coat the entire blank again with fresh flexcoat.
I didn't like the way the first coat dried
Alittle soft. Another coat will fix that
Stay tuned 😎
