Yea, a couple of layers would probably make it much easier. In my ODC-ridden life through I was looking for what I thought of as simple purity. (I told you nobody ever said I was smart) -
I have come to the point in my life where I very likely will never get into the field again and really just worry about such things as wrapping a Model 18 handle as an esthetics exercise. So I guess the process (in this case) is as important or more so than the result. I know this is all kind of dumb, but I'm just relaxing and enjoying myself and whether I get the handle wrapped or not someday really won't matter. But - I really do appreciate the suggestion and without a doubt it would work. I know I can get anything done with the back-up knowledge on this forum. Just great! Thank you again, sincerely. alabamafats.
