You really don't need special tools, but some things make it easier like the a rod stand (holder) and tread tensioner. one thing you will need is a finishing motor. this is used to rotate the rod and a slow speed to allow the epoxy finish to flow and make a nice smooth looking surfice. a barbeque motor will turn at about the right speed. I've seen a fan motor used for this one time.
size A thread is the most common thread for guide wraps.
razor blades or xacto blades and sharp sissors will be needed.
color preserver and flex coat epoxy will be needed. color preserver is applied to the wrap first, this preserves the color of the thread so it won't fade out. then the flex coat epoxy is the finish.
tape will also be needed, I use small pieces of electrical tape.
I will post some pics a little later today of my setup and tools that I use. hope this helps.
