jvance Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I know there are other well-reputed methods of wrapping your stock but here is what works for me... been bending on and off for 2 years and i have constantly experimented with my wraps - this is by far the most effective way for me... any of you who are just starting out and would like a consistent method that can help you get to the next level should check this out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Awesome I have struggled with getting the wraps to not bunch up. I have to go get a pony clamp, thanks for putting this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broly Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've seen using pony clamps but this is a first with the initial start of the wrap how you do it in the video. Very interesting and can't wait to try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Something to add: I said in the video.. "about 1 inch or 1 and half"..... blah blah.. ___________________________________________________ I went back and got the precise fold over measurements for each common stock diameter: 3/16"; IM white nails - Fold over 1 inch 1/4"; Yellow and Blue nails and most 60D - fold over at 1,1/4" 5/16"; Red Nails etc - Fold at 1,1/2" 3/8"; Gold Nail/80D stock - fold over at 1,3/4" Some further tips: Nail goes on the side that is folded over solid.... you want the sloppier side on the outside of the nail When using Ironmind Pads, start wrapping on the NON-tag end for better results Also, it may be helpful to mark out your measurements on your wrap for better consistency Edited February 6, 2013 by jvance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting and can't wait to try this. This is called the 'Eaton Wrap' as you can see, it rocks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
