Hello all.
Been reading rod building forum for a while and have a few questions. First I have a question on rod thread --- silk or regular rod wrapping thread ?. Second what finish should I use,(ut U-40 Permagloss 1 part finishor something else?)

I have built a rod dryer from info I received from the forum here and built a thread tension device from a mouse trap . the parts are ordered and I'm going to give it a go

Thanks in advance.
