Holy Smokes Batman!

Very nice work! I'm very impressed !!! That is a very detailed butt wrap!

Couple questions for you:

Are you putting a very light coat of say Flex Coat Lite between each major stage of the wrap? Like on the butt section before you cap off the ends of the but? Plus where you cap off the reel seat and the underwrap before placing the guide & foot wrap?

How do you get that very smooth transition from the cork tape down to the beginning of the butt wrap? That's one of my biggest problems - getting a smooth transition and my smoothes one lookes like the Catskills in comparison...

What epoxy do you use for the wrapping?

Nice Work!

Thanks,

John
