I am going to completly re coat a rod with an aerosol Epoxy Spray as well as doing new eye guides with Flex Coat.


Question is which to do first the Epoxy or the Flex Coat and guides?

If it were me, I'd strip the rod, clean it up and refinish the blank itself. Then after making sure the surface coating is completely dry/cured, I'd wrap the guides and finish those wraps.

Dick, listen to Tom, Just do one step at a time. Then the next step... Before long you'll have the finished beauty (I hope) in your hands, ready to fish. Try to take shortcuts or get ahead of yourself and you'll make a mess. I speak from experience. Welcome to the addiction. LOL Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.
