I alreday repaired the splits on the Monty, and still have to wrap one split/nick with white sylk. (pictures will come soon). I still have a couple of basic questions ....
My question #1 is do you varnish before wraping the guides or after wraping and epoxing them?
The question #2; what do I do with the pushed pins in the ferrules (that I removed)? Do I let them there or is there a way to remove the pins out of the bamboo?
And question #3; is epoxy any good for gluing the ferrules (I checked that this epoxy will fail at 265 F).
Question #4 Where can I get white sylk to wrap the split?

Thanks a lot

Martin
