Just follow this instructional blog and watch this episode of Mud Hole Live to easily learn about tiger wraps, cross wraps, and more in no time. 1. Select Threads and Prepare Tools For our demonstration and for you at home, we recommend using six size A threads to complete your own 3-D tiger wrap. Done in two layers, this tiger wrap uses three different colored threads in the first base layer, while the outer layer starts with the same three before removing two as sacrificial threads.

Wrap Base Thread Pattern To start the tiger wrap’s base layer, select one color and wrapping to the right, continue roughly 1/8 of an inch up the blank. Next, tuck the two additional base inlay threads under the beginning running thread. Going directly from the spools into the last turn of the running thread, wrap the running thread a few more turns to secure the two base inlay threads in place. Then, hold the running thread and inlay threads together with the inlays to the right of the running thread and begin wrapping all three simultaneously. As you reach the desired length for your wrap, you will end the base layer the same as when you started. 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. Remember as you burnish the thread from different directions, the more you shift the original base layer, the more intense the final tiger wrap will appear. Also, the amount of epoxy directly determines the impact of the tiger wrap’s infamous 3-D appearance. So, for a more pronounced 3-D effect, use one to two thick coats of epoxy, but for a subtler effect, use a lighter coat of epoxy over the base layer. 4. Wrap and Burnish Outer Wrap Since the epoxy has cured completely, you can now wrap the outer layer without pressing the threads into the previous epoxied wrap. Wrapping the outer layer is similar to the base layer, however, one striking difference is that the outer layer is wrapped to the left rather than the right. Secure the threads but trim only running thread flush and leave roughly six inches of the sacrificial inlay threads hanging out. Then, burnish the outer threads as you did with the base layer. 5. Heat Outer Threads and Remove Sacrificial Thread Use a heat gun to apply a steady heat over the outer threads. With the threads just warm to the touch, let the rod and threads settle for 45 minutes to an hour before moving on. Next, cautiously slide the two inlay threads or sacrificial threads from under the secured running thread. Slowly unwind these two threads and carefully untuck them from under the secured running thread. 6. Epoxy Wrap and Flame Finish With the sacrificial threads removed, you can now mix and apply your final epoxy finish. Epoxy the entire outer layer and as you do, look for small bubbles. Then, flame finish by gently wafting the burner under the areas where bubbles are trapped. Let it cure for a full 24 hours and well, that’s all folks!
