If you readjust it with a brush (again, at high speed) at a certain point, when the epoxy is a bit less fluid, don't know how to explain how fluid... it will remain that way, and it won't pull itself to the center anymore, and it won't pull itself off the thread edges, so the thread won't show thru the epoxy.
Don't know how to explain it better than this
That works, I know what you're talking about. All I have to do now is figure out the right timing to hit it when the viscosity is high enough that it doesn't flow back to the center, but low enough that it will level out the brush marks.
Thanks, I've got 4 blanks showing up tomorrow to start building. (0 of those are for me
)
Those will be perfect for practice

Does anybody know where I can get a carbon fiber foregrip/nut combo that fits an ECS reel seat? I see a few in these pictures. I'm talking about the same one that Dobyn's uses on their Champion Extreme baitcasting rods, just without the custom paint.

I get them from Matagi, I believe you won't find them in to many other places!

Swampland had a few from Phenix, but I don't know if they still carry them.

How about those ALPS AGC-MVT reel seats? Need to use arbors with small diameter blanks? Those looks really sexy!

Beautiful!
I am bias towards the build with the Zillion 50th, since that is my favorite reel.
