Epoxy question, how to fix a low spot
Posted by: Scott Backholm (---.hsd1.ma.comcast.net)

Hello all. My last coat of finish over a graphic in the butt wrap area has a sag. I must have put it on a little thick. The whole area is about 7 inches and there is about a 1 inch wide spot where it is a bit lower. My question is can I put a coat of finish on JUST that area? Will it blend with the already cured epoxy?

Thanks in advance.

If you wait after mixing your epoxy, and let it thicken a little, it will stay in your low spot better. Then, if you are happy that you evened it up to your liking, put at least one more coat over it all, to blend. I have to do this on occasion, with my larger feather inlays, due to uneven surfaces.

Scott,
Or, just leave it alone, don't tell anyone and it will be a great rod.
