hard finish

Hi, i'm an italian rod builder. I have a problem. I had take off the guides on a rod and the thread finish is the type that hard under a UV light. It is very very hard and I have a lot of difficult to peel it away ( the finish that remain when you take off the thread). In some cases also the rod finish go away with the over finish. What I must do? How can I take it away?

If your putting the guides back in the same place as before just keep your scraping to that area and get it smooth as you scrape if you start seeing color back off. G-Loomis production rods are hard to get a guide off also. so I would never think of moving the guides on a loomis or even a matte rod fin, now a gloss balnk that had CP on the old threads I have cleaned up well enough to move guides, but it can be a risky scraping business
