"scuffing" finish

I have a butt wrap that has several coats of cured finish on it that has sat untouched for about 2 weeks. I have read on this forum a number of times that the finish will need to be "scuffed" with a scuff pad if it has sat for more than 2 or 3 days after the last coat. I am almost afraid to scuff the finish fearing that the scuff marks and scratches or residue/dust will show through the new coats, and dull the final look of the butt wrap. Will it look ok after the new finish coats are applied and cured? ( I guess I'm looking for some reassurance/moral support to go ahead and "scuff it up ).

Roger, only a very light scuffing will be needed, don't over do it. Re: "scuffing" finish

Fine grey Scotchbrite won't leave large or deep enough scratches to show under a new application of finish. You'll never see the "scuff."

Just make sure to dust it off good before applying finish. Freddwhy (Rapt-Ryte) Re: "scuffing" finish

Don't understand why people scuff? I never do and often wait for a while between coats. Never had a problem. Epoxy sticks to the blank with a cured finish on it, why wouldn't it stick to itself if it was cured? Re: "scuffing" finish

I think if you DO scuff you run the danger of scratching your blank....don't ask me how I know. Re: "scuffing" finish

I gotta back Billy and Roger. I've even done guide replacements for customers in which they asked me to recoat all the guides to "freshen em up" and have never had any issues and I don't even know on some of the off the shelf rods were even coated with initially. Never had any problems/complaints and I know I'am talking 20+ times. Maybe I've just been lucky! Re: "scuffing" finish

Many epoxies intended for top coating surfaces contain a type of wax that seals the surface upon curing. This is why you'll sometimes experience one cured layer of epoxy rejecting or repelling another layer, in the form of dry spots and craters. For this reason, most epoxy formulators will advise scuffing the surface of any top coating type epoxy if the product has fully cured, which generally takes several days at room temperature. Inside of that window, you're generally okay not to do anything.
