Wrapped a rod ten ago with Madeira on the guides and it held up just as well as any rod wrapping thread. Used CP of course

Ask your friend what method he uses. Dragging bait vs jigging is two entirely different blanks. Also water depth will make a difference. Fishing from private boat or a head boat ?

Black guides matter.

I use a spatula. Learned from the one and only Ralph O’Quinn how to do it. Faster and cleaner than a brush.

A butane or propane torch works for me . Just need to keep the distance far enough away. You can also see the flame unlike alcohol. There are models that turn off and on by pressing and holding a button and releasing it when you are dome. That is of course if propane or butane is not banned there also .
