I'm fairly new at rod-building, using LS-2000 Supreme. Having trouble getting the signature area of the rod to come out smooth. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the "wavy" effect? Re: Coating over signature

Apply the finish as even as possible then finish with horizontal (along the axis)strokes. Don't apply much pressure or bubbles will form. Re: Coating over signature

I am convinced the probably the most important thing (well, at least one of the most important things) to learn about finishes is knowing how much to apply in a single session. Too little gets you incomplete coverage, and too much gets you waves. Re: Coating over signature

Lumpyness can be caused by the finish being applied while it is still in a "catalyzing" condition or more simply, while it is very thin. I apply the finish very liberally with the long strokes (rod not turning) before you finish any wraps on the rod then go ahead & finish the wraps. When the wraps are finished I go back to the inscription area and brush off all the excess finish, again with long strokes along the length of the finish areal. A good way to make a straight line of finish at the end of an inscription is to lightly wet a finely woven cloth with denatured alcohol and stretch the edge along the end of the epoxy-finished area while the rod is turning. This makes a sharp, clean edge to your inscription area. Tight lines Re: Coating over signature

I could never get LS supreme to level in those areas either & went back to Flexcoat lite Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
