Does rod bond dry clear? Can I use it for covering guide wraps or is there a better option? Also, is it fine to use a polyurethane spray on gloss for the blank or should I get a different coating?

Thanks

Rod Bond is an adhesive NOT a wrap covering epoxy! There epoxies specially made for covering the wraps. Use the "search" feature above to get information on coating a rod blank.

As Phil pointed out, there are many better finishes to use for a blank than Poly or any similar product.
Do the search and locate the best products.

Rod bond doesn't dry clear. It's not made for coating threads.

Flex Coat, Threadmaster, and Pro Kote, to name a few are especially made for coating thread work.

Most rods are either painted, clear coated or left unfinished but you can add a finish to your blanks if you want by using Lumiseal or Permagloss. Do a search for those two products and you'll find several ways to apply them to your blanks.
