I did a figure 8 pattern of sorts in and out of the holes before I went ahead and wrapped it. It gave a little more thickness to the handle and more surface area to grip.

I'll be getting my HDDD back soon from a friend who did some mods to it for me. As soon as it gets here I'm going to start wrapping and post some pics.

It was wrapped by Rainwalker when I received it in a trade, but it had to come off in order to do the mods. Jeff did an awesome job on it, but I wished the guard was a little bigger when the handle is wrapped.

I used plain paracord for a flatter wrap. A little (a very little) Crazy Glue as you go makes for a nice clean look. I hope that acetone won't hurt the handle finish if I want to take it off.
