Reel grasp materials

Post by Mike N »

Paul Manuel's article in the July issue of the Reel News on the subject of determining what a reel grasp is made of is a seminal and important contribution to the hobby.

Well done, Paul!

And in case folks missed my posting from a week or so ago, I put Paul's photos from this article up, in color, on the show & tell portion of the ORCA website under "So What Material is That Reel Grasp?" Worth a look!

Thanks for doing that, Richard. It probably would be helpful in the Cleaning and Restoration section too so I'll post a link there also.
