I am building a rod for my daughter and went, for the first time, with metallic trim. I wrapped the trim as tight as I could but some of those pesky things just want to move on you when packing. Well I thought I would secure them with some permagloss. I overlapped some, on to the main wrap not thinking it would change anything. Wrong! It became a color preserver. I am only using trim on the ferrel of the tip section so I can apply more color preserver to the wraps on the butt section and I will have to live with a slight color change between the two sections. But you know, in spite of it I am having a ball!

Permagloss shouldn't be much of a color preserver. If there is a slight shade difference use the Permagloss on the complete wrap as a 1st coat to assure uniformity.

If you only applly Permagloss to a portion of a wrap, that portion will look a bit different when epoxy is applied to the entire wrap.

When you want to apply CP or something like PermaGloss to just a trim wrap, use a fine tipped artist's brush and keep it away from the main wrap. Leave just a bit of room to spare the very edge of the trim wrap will "wick" whatever you apply to the edge of the trim.
