Ran into the same problem with a Payne graphite blank. What I ended up doing was wrapping that section with some silk thread, put a finish on it. Turned out to be a good looking fix.

I have an old Fenwick Steelhead rod. Think it is A 1020 or 1021 graphite. The guides and butt wrap were sealed with old style rod varnish, this was done in the late 70's. Any recommendation of how to safely remove this finish without damaging the finish on the blank ? The rod is in great condition but I want to put new lighte weight guides on it. Thanks
