Thanks Larry. Even not completely finished, they look kinda cool - like
those big fins they put on cars in the sixties!

You must have liked how they fished or you wouldn't have
done over so many rods.

I think I'll give it try.


. my vest has a
couple square feet of real ugly shoe- goo smeared repairs in areas that have
worn out, I love "the look" and I'll admit to a silly snob appeal that I
find in hard used equipment ... an appeal that the new and shiny just never
has


I also like the comfort and wear my gear takes on from use. The patina
that well made stuff takes on is attractive to me, but I don't know
where Shoo goo fits in!
