With the proper application, you can acheive a beautiful custom rod. Techniques for measuring properly can be found online in different "how-to" videos. We suggest using the boil method for application versus the heat gun method to eliminate cracking and reduce application time. Simply place your pre-measured shell in a small dish of water and add a tsp. of white vinegar to it. The vinegar breaks down the calcium in the shell and makes it pliable. Place in microwave for 4-6 minutes. Then, simply peel the back off and roll around your blank. We have used shells in place of butt wraps, between split grips, and under guides.
