Glad to see that I'm not the only one having problems. Used 3 different machines with 3 different tensioners. I did do better with the blend metallic thread in C or D. Diamonds came out nice. Hope to get some blanks at the fishing flea market tomorrow to build more rods and try again. Everyone seems to want some form of metallic as one of their main colors. I can always go back to black double wraps and cork tape grips like I did in the 70's.
