I found thread fuzz in 2 of my wraps that came through the finish... can I trim it off with a razor or sand it off and just add a light second coat of finish to it? I wondered if it would blend like it was never there or if the spot would haze?

I bought some "reading" glasses for future inspection of wraps but this rod was finished before that acquisition.

Thanks for any tips!

The method I use and it was suggested by BDTrout, after you give the finish ample time to cure...get some small fine files. I use jeweler's files and grind down any imperfections in the finish. Remove all filing dust.

Add a second coat and they disappear! Problem solved.

I must admit, I use this technique more than I should have to.

just slice it off with a very sharp razor blade and put on another light coat.

I use a double edge razor blade to slice it off. With a good hand and a good razor blade, you can barely see where it was. Your next coat of finish covers it easily.

The few times I've gotten big nasty problems I let the epoxy fully cure and took some 120 grit to it. Then wet sanded up to 1000 or 1200 or some such grit.

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Since I didn't use CP the fuzz is almost invisible but the exterior surface of the finish is rough at that spot. I just wanted to be sure that if I cut, sanded or filed on the epoxy, that the second coat of finish would hide that activity and leave a smooth coat.

Thanks again,

Be carful if you sand finish. If you go through to the thread you'll cause more problems than you solve. lots of "fuzzies"

reading glasses are good BUT DONT wear them for too long they give you a skull ache also watch it when you take them off to pee lol it sorta goes all over the place till you get the focus range right
or is it just me anyone else have this "problem"
now i just pee over the neighbors yard works better and i can blame the dog!!!!

I always have a few fingernail Emory boards of various grits on hand for various little "touch up jobs.

Victory over the fuzz! I used a flat sided needle file. Cut out the slight bump of epoxy and the fuzz itself and applied a very light second coat of Threadmaster and I can't even see where I worked on it last night!!

Thanks again for the suggestions,

Keith
