JohnnyB,
Just a thought ... are the wraps standing proud of the rod because the guides don't fit flat against the rod? When you're smoothing the top of the feet (to remove any sharp points and thin the ends) smooth the bottom of the guide feet by holding the bottom of the guide flat against a wet stone, and smoothing it back and forth till it's truly flat. That extra few minutes will make for a smoother wrap.
