Octofloat deluxe

Post by BreadFlake »

Currently restoring an Octofloat deluxe and I'm unsure what colour the original whippings were and where I could acquire some?

If only it were simple, the search bar hasn't been working on my phone, it shows no results regardless of what i type...

Thanks, I'm unsure where to get black and white jasper from, I usually use pipers silk but they only seem to stock solid colours

why don't you use a computer

Searching for Black and white jasper thread shows plenty:

No doubt others might say that this is incorrect but what about this:

Mine is green/red too and doesn't have the reinforced ferrules? In fact I'm sure it was only the Rover version that had them.
