I messed up I put high build on my rod guides and now it is up in all the guides but not in the guides. How can i remove the excess for more eye appeal?

From you description I am a little confused, but I am assuming that the finish either ran up the guide foot or you mistakingly put finish on the upper part of the guide.

Has it cured?

If not wipe it of with a paper towel and some solvent. If it has cured, carefully carve and shave it off with a sharp utility knife. Be careful not to damage your guide, rod blank, or finished wrap.

No it is cured and while it was turning over night it ran up to the upper part of the guides. It is more cosmetic then anything. I have been trying to cut out the gaps with a modelers razor.

You could try heating the area on the guide briefly with a cigarette lighter then peel off the the run area of the finish to a surface slice with your razor knife at the base of the guide leg.

The problem is not the high build but that you put too much finish on your guides and probably your rod wasn't level to start with

I know It was my mistake. I just have to use a razor to clean them up. I never had the issue before and when I saw it I knew it was my fault. I know its not the [product I love Flex Coat.

It sounds like the turning motor stopped for a period of time long enough for the runs to occur. did you possibly loose power during the night?

or the blank slipped the chuck

I personally would leave it alone.
You likely put on too much finish and either stopped the rod with the guides down for a bit, or turned the rod too fast and the epoxy climbed up the guide.

If you want it clean, cut off the guide, retie it, and recoat it. properly.
