Mike, do you coat the whole braid with thin CA ?

Also, is there a coat of paint or a black sleeve under the braid ?

Thanks.

It is glued with enough thin CA to stick to the tube but not build up in the gaps of the braid, think wick not coat.

Yes, the tube is painted black.

Looks nice Mike! I bet it has a nice feel to it - some texture.
