Does Anyone Remember "Glassing" a wrap?

You mean using a shot glass to burnish the wrap? Some company (Cue Doctor?) made and sold a glass rod with a round ball formed on one end. It was sold as a device to smooth out shaft nicks (it just kind of blended the nick into a soft dip), but I used them for burnishing wraps. Haven't seen them around in a while, but I treasure the ones I've owned for almost 30 years, so if I ever do another linen wrap I'll have them.

Exactly... I didn't have the ones from Cue Doctor but I had, still have them somewhere, these hourglass shaped solid ultra smooth glass "cut-offs" from a glass maker that worked so well. I just wondered if anyone still used them...
I remember using a shot glass on my Kersenbrock shafts.
Now when I look back, it probable was not such a good idea. LOL

I don't have the glass rod any more,but I have a small collection of glass bottles I can use for the same thing,including an old Coricidin bottle that a guy gave me to use as a guitar slide back in the early 90's.
The bottles I have have only been used for linen wraps,and usually only my own.
On the other hand,I'm waiting on a quote from a local glass dealer for a couple narrow glass plates to use in a linen press "experiment" thing. Tommy D.
