I put a light coat of flex on a rod a few weeks ago and would like to add another. Can I just scuff the finish lightly and recoat? Re: Finish question

If you have thread work areas with s light coat of finish on the thread, be careful scuffing over the thread, you dont want to scuff down into the threads.

You dont need to scuff it up, just paint right over the first coat. Re: Finish question

Any time the rod has been sitting a while between coats, scuff lightly as Tom suggested,
but also first make sure there are no contaminants or dust on the surface that may get pushed into the original finish. Best wishes, Ron Schneider Schneider's Rod Shop Mountain Home, Arkansas [www.schneidersrods.com] mtnron40@yahoo.com 870-424-3381 Re: Finish question

A cured epoxy surface will tend to repel another application of epoxy. You want to de-gloss it (scuff) before applying another application any time the first one has been on there more than 3 or 4 days.
Whatever you do, do not wipe the surfaces with a solvent after you have scuffed it. Do that first, it at all. .............. Re: Finish question

You COULD get away without scuffing, but why risk it? It only takes a minute! Brush it, don't wipe with a solvent Mike (Southgate, MI) If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!! Re: Finish question

The finish should be completely cured. It would be better to scoff for a good bond. Bill - willierods.com Re: Finish question

Scuffing is different from sanding. If you only scuff it will remove the shine from the finish and add some tooth to adhere to . Sanding removes finish. Use a grey Scotch-Brite pad. Freddwhy (Rapt-Ryte) Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
