Hello,

I am putting feather inlays on the female ferrules on my 4pc fly rod but I have a few bumps on my first coat of finish. So I decided to trim those bumps with a blade and now I'm left with a few white spots. My question is can I go ahead and put my feather inlay on with color preserver before filling in those white spot with another coat of finish? Or will the color preserver preserve those white spots and not allow the finish to soak back in there? I don't want to have ferrules with spots on there! But I also hate waiting for the finish to dry up before doing my inlays! :S
