1. Select Threads and Prepare Tools

For the base thread pattern, pick (3) thread colors and make sure to keep them side-by-side while you wrap.

2. Wrap Base Thread Pattern

Begin your wrap normally, make sure to keep your threads in order as you wrap.

3. Burnish and Epoxy Base Thread Wrap

With the wrap in place, take your burnishing tool and run it back and forth over the base layer. Burnish the thread in shorter strokes from various angles to break up the uniform stripes.

4. Wrap and Burnish Outer Wrap

Wrapping the outer layer is similar to the base layer, however, one striking difference is that the outer layer is wrapped the opposite direction of the base.

5. Heat Outer Threads and Remove Sacrificial Thread

With the outer layer burnished to your liking, use a heat gun to apply a steady heat over the outer threads. This heat will act to set the outer wrap softly into the epoxied base layer, but without penetrating too deep into it.

6. Epoxy Wrap and Flame Finish

With the sacrificial threads removed, you can now mix and apply your final epoxy finish.
