I didn't strip these rods. They have a 3/4 inch straight base, it doesn't taper till it gets up to the first guide from the bottom. This allowed me to glue the foregrip,rodseat,and rear grip from the base of the rod. I'm actually thinking about building my own manual wrapper,it doesnt look like it would be hard to build one. Then maybe get an old grill rotissurie motor and make a dryer? As you can see I'm all about doing it yourself. Lol!!!

kracker, i used a 24 vt motor out of an irrigation timer. i thing it was 10 rpm. made a perfect drying rack. i laid the rod on some old wheels off of a small cart. my wrapping setup was an old dentist drill motor with the foot pedal.
