Hi I just used an old Volvo oil filter remover put slits in with hacksaw to accommodate o rings.Also if I were you I would keep the drier seperate from the wrapper so you'll be able to get on with both secrions at the same time.ill put a pic up of my drier later for you made it out of a 12v old Xmas Santa and a speaker stand

Made a chuck for the drier
I used a cap off a tote tank (borrowed from work)
And 4 elastic bands takes all sizes of rod

What do you use to strip a fishing rod ?
I've heard nitro mors works is that true ?

would'nt know never used as i don't know what it would do to the carbon weave etc. it i use a blunt stanley knife blade straight up and down and scrape the finish off then wet and dry paper.To strip a guide just cut the threads thats going over the guide foot and peel away(this is how i do it others may be different).Try searching on youtube theres tons of useful vids you can watch for rod building if your stuck if i know i'll help but the two main rod building guys are fishfingers(stan)and primoman(alan)they are the very best.
