Burnsy -

Can't help you on your question, since I have avoided trim wraps on the three rods I've built in the name of simplicity.

Just wanted to extend greetings and a welcome from SE Idaho.

Since you've been a BB member for several months, you probably already know what a great place this is.

Certainly, someone will come along shortly with a good solution to the problem you've been having. Looking forward to the suggestions, since I might consider trim wraps on the next rod I do, probably another bamboo sometime over the summer.
