Loading rod stripe

[Fiddler]

Can someone give me instructions for burning a spiral stripe onto a loading rod?
Thanks, Fiddler

 Wrap it with a piece of wet cotton fabric one inch wide with a gap between the edges as wide as you want the stripe. Then burn the exposed part with a propane torch.

Last one we did here we took a long piece of black vinyl tape-3/4 wide,fold it in half,sticky side in,and wrap the spiral down,or up  the rod,leaving desired space between,then burn the wood with torch.Did a good job,if ye gits any sticky from it,wipe it off with laquer thinner,
