I recently bought a bottle of permagloss and I have been trying it on some old rods. Every time it dries wavy. I cant figure that one out. I let it spin for about 2 hours (I guess it really doesn't need that long but just to make sure) on a 18 rpm dryer. Is there something I could do or that I might be doing wrong?

Also what is the color that people mix with it and how does that work?

Thanks for yalls 2 cents

Used on guide wraps, with sufficient build up, it will indeed give you a slightly wavy or eggshell surface. That's the nature of the beast.

If you're trying to refinish rod blanks with it, you can get a very smooth and glossy surface just by applying it, in one or two quick tip to butt passes, from one of the cheap black foam type paint brushes found at any hardware or home supply store. Two coats, about an hour apart, are all you need.

Wet the brush/foam and make one tip to butt pass along the length without stopping. Then spin the blank 180 degrees and do it again on the other side. Put it aside (stand on end) and let set for about an hour and then do it again.

If the blank is a small diameter one, you can punch a hole in the foam and pass the blank through it in one pass. That will coat the entire surface in just a few seconds. Again, two coats, three at the outside, are usually sufficient.
