Hey guys, my first post and I am building my first rod. First off, thank you all for unknowingly helping me through my first build, this site is great information and you are all so helpful. I am happy with the way it turned out for the most part, but I obviously need more practice with my wrap coatings or maybe just a smaller brush. Haha

My problem is that the rod label sticker started to peal back in one tiny area after I applied the high build coating. It is not terrible but annoying to this perfectionist. It has simply created a small line in the coating. Can I simply apply another coat to seal it or do I need to do something different. Thank you,

I'd just trim the part sticking up and add another coat of rod finish. Make sure it's extra clean and you'll be mixing a small amount of finish so make sure you get your ratio perfect. Don't make it worse by cutting any corners!

Thank you, it isn't even sticking up enough to trim it away, I think another coat would do the trick, I just wanted to make sure that would be ok.

I always put two dry coats of Crylon Fixative on decals This stuff if very clear Sprays on let dry Will seal very well Next day finish

Thanks for the help guys! I took a blade and shaved the ridge where the sticker had pealed up and put on anoth coat. It turned out great! I am officially addicted!
