problem with scratches on wrap finish

I've got terrible scratches on the surface of my wrap finish -- one application of flexcoat lite build. I was messing with guide placement for an acid wrap rod & didn't realize that the finish was still a little tacky.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks

Terry

Thanks Steve. So, I don't have to sand it down or anything?

If they are wide scratches you might, but if they were caused be your finger prints. they should level out and fill in. You might try picking the worse one and recoating that one only. That should tell you if another coat will work, or you need to sand them down or start over. I've had some pretty bad goobers of my own that I've just been able to recoat, and they came out fine.
