You are half right. Whenever I get asked this I try to respond the same way... I do not teach that technique for two reasons:
1. It sets my sabers apart, and this is my living
2. It's a difficult technique, and easy to get wrong, not lining up, damaging the LED/optics/threads... I screwed up a few times learning how to do it. SO I do not want others trouble with the process to reflect badly on my work.

Best advice is to budget time and $$$ in order to experiment and find what works for you.

That is the plan for Jan or Feb.
