Re: MK4 Avon/Carp Rod Garage find
I have just finished a MK IV complete with 3/8th inch inters. I used Superior threads, Kimono silk which is very fine and makes neat inters. I also find that using a wire needle threader instead of a piece of thread to draw the tail back through makes things a little easier. I also do about half a dozen then seal them with thinned threadmaster varnish to shrink and glue in position.

Harry you,re lucky you,re not doing an early one there,s only 56 inters from the tip ring to the next ring along.Harry H wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 7:16 amGood tip that nothing quite find one has come loose for raising the blood pressureOld Man River wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 10:21 pm Just a quick suggestion, when doing the inters ( I have done 4 sets of full inters on Mk IV rods in the last two years)
Do as many as you can manage in a sitting, and before you put it down, apply a coat of water based satin varnish to the whippings to ‘ glue ‘ them in place , otherwise , a slight accident could result in a few coming loose , which is a real downer when you have spent s lot of time on them .
OMR.
Coming to the end of my Mk IV marathon 155 down 52 to go I think
Have a look at the bottom one

Re: MK4 Avon/Carp Rod Garage find
Were that many inters just decorative? or was there a strengthening aspect to them...?
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

That's inter overkill or a serious lack of faith in the glue bond!
