NO pro here but now on my 4th build and "discovered" that placing/holding guides in place with a dab of fleximent works like a charm.

I never could get the hang of tiny elastic bands of tiny strips of tape and was turned off by using Super Glue as suggested in several tutorials.

Just tried some Fleximent and it sets up quick and stays flexible so you can adjust the guide while wrapping.

A tiny, little, thick glob and a few seconds of hold time seems to be the tickete....also, it rubs right off the blank with a finger tip if you decide to relocate the guide.

Disclaimer...I am no expert, test it on YOUR blank before trying it on a bunch of guides, I have no way of knowing if it'll eat a hole in your creation...it didn't on mine.

I plan on removing all that I can around the guide foot (it is very, very little) to minimize any interference with the thread finish.
