Metallion Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Doing my own Fender type Truss rod and wonder what kind of TAPE you wind around the rod for preventing Rattle. A plastic Tube for fitting on my 5mm rod and in the 6mm slot, I have Not found yet. The M Hiscock recommendation of a Plastic Drink Straw I have doubts about. How much marginal do you need to enable movement but hinder Rattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGman Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Heatshrink tubing will do what you want and it should equate to 6mm after its on the truss rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have made 5 guitars now with the simple curved truss rod and just wrap a couple of layers of plastic insulating tape around it. I haven't had any rattles and the glue wont stick to it. No problemo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
