I'll stick with the non-NCP thread as I like the look it gives. Do you guys recommend using epoxy for the tip or can I get by with the old Gudebrod ferrule cement (the kind you heat with a match). I have to run to the local Homies for some denatured alcohol in case I screw-up with the epoxy. The reel seat is already glued on and the cork is reamed..ready to go. I'll keep you guys updated. I hope to be wrapping by noon tomorrow. Thanks again. Joe, one more thing...how long are those ferrule wraps? Look to be about 1/2" or so?
