Under-wrap finish?
Posted by: Robert Bryson (---.ard.bellsouth.net)

I want to add an extra guide on one of my poles. The guides on it are underwrapped with red thread and I want to match this with the extra guide. My question: Do I put some kind of finish on the underwrap before I put on the guide?.........If so, what kind of finish do I use?.......The only fod finish I have is Cabela's and it is high-build stuff.........MANY THANKS in advance

You don't have to, but it will help you make the overwrap. You can use high build epoxy if you like, just put it on thin. You only need to sort of seal the threads so that the overwrap won't tend to dig into them. So don't over do it.

Brush on the finish then use the brush "DRY" to take of the excess finish so you only have a thin "wet Coat"

Or... use a stiff brush. That tends to automatically reduce the amount of finish that you can apply.

Or, use a thin flexible spatula, not too dissimilar from a stiff brush.
