    Psab, how long did it take you to wrap the fishing line around the inner blade?

    A few hours. You had to basically make sure that it didn't overlap or unravel. It was tied off by drilling two holes in the lower end of the tube and tying the line after looping it through them. Then the line was wrapped around the length of the tube and then tied off in the same manner on the other end of the blade.

    Yeah, if anything the fishing line was interesting because it gave more texture than Corbin's film.

    Blades are the key to Luxeons so I always futz with them. Probably less so with the methods we have now, but still worth it. I'm going to add PolyP to it when I get home. hopefully it'll be a great change and become an even better display blade.
