Hello. I have a rod that I have gotten the finish uneven in front of the foregrip. I'm using U40 LS supreme and it's been alittle over twelve hours on the dryer. What's the best way to correct this issue. Learned a lesson again. Was in a rush and wanted to get the finish on in order to give the rod afew days to cure before our opening day.

I was wondering if any one has polished out the casting marks from reel seats.I am looking for information on what they used to polish them out and how it turned out.

Can some one point me to the link
