I'm having difficulty visualizing how rod skins would work with a skeleton fly seat. Would the skinz be applied on a spacer (not usually part of a skeleton) or would the area under the forward hood for an up lock seat or the butt end hood for a down lock seat be built up with some sort of bushing? Maybe it is just my day to be dense!

Can be done either way, you can turn a full insert undersized and apply and add your finish to it, or apkply on the blank and finish and just use a bushing in the hood and unexposed area of the threaded barrel.
