Okay, I've some experience after building about a dozen rods but I haven't tried this and just have to ask a question. The books, videos, etc, teach that you should start the wrapping process by wrapping the thread over the tag end a sufficient number of turns to secure it. This is a similar, if not the same, method used when starting the thread on a fly. Now here's my question:

Do any of you place some type of glue or stick-um type adhesive along the blank to make the thread adhere to said blank more easily? I'm not talking about a glob, just a barely perceptible amount. Any negative thoughts about doing this?

Thanks.
