Neville, If you really like the 1/8" masking tape, check the autobody supply sources. Or a local repair/custom paint shop. My father worked in autobody repair most of his life. He had masking tape in a lot of sizes.

No, I have not used dental elastics. I don’t know if my dentist would give
me some. My next appointment is not until April. I do have some 1/8 inch
wide masking tape which has become too old and I don’t know where to obtain
a fresh supply. I got mine from a rod building supply that is no longer in
business. It was perfect for the purpose.

Nev,
Have you ever used Dental Elastics to hold the guides in place. I also cut
"0" rings from surgical tube. Makes it easy to move the guides.

Hi Rene:
Here's what I do.
· Go to the blank maker's website and download
their recommended spacing for your particular rod.
http://www.fishpacbay.com/product-info/guide-spacing.html
· Using narrow masking tape, affix the guides
per the recommended spacings;
· Put a line (and reel if you have a handle
installed) on the rod and with mild tension on the line
check the line spacing and adjust a small amount as
required.
I use typewriter “white out” liquid to mark the guide
spacings. These can be easily removed.

Hi Gang,
as you might know, I'm building / assembling my next rod.
5 wt, 9 feet, pacbay blank. single food guides in black
Now I'm determining the position of the guides. On my last
rod I used
some tables I got from the web.
But for this rod I want to do it more precise. Base rule is
that the
angle between blank and line should be equal on the left and
right side
of the guide (When the blank is bend, for sure).
Therefore I assume that the position of the guides not only
depends on
length and weight of the rod, but also of the action. Has
anybody a
link, where I can find information about this dependency,
maybe a table
which shows length, weight and action of the rod?
Right now I have the idea to bend the blank using some lead,
measure the
curve of the rod, do a drawing and than search the positions
of the
guides on the paper using the rule mentioned above.
What are you doing to determine the position of the guides?
Rene
