I'm happy with the wrap finish on my rod sections except for two places. One has uneven finish extending too far away from the beginning of the wrap, the other has a few ugly bubbles at the Forhan locking wrap end just under the guide ring. I've sanded lumpy logo areas before and applied more finish with good success but I'm uneasy about just fixing the wrap edges. Just wondering what the preferred method is - try to scrape the edges clean and add new finish in the fillet areas or should I just strip the guide off and redo? I guess if the repair looks bad I'll wind up doing that anyway. Thanks.
