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! Re: Lesson learned

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. Stan Grace Helena, MT "Our best is none too good" Re: Lesson learned

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. ............ Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
