Sorry being late in replying. Have been shut down.
Just steel wool the surface to rough it a bit so that the Flex Coat will have a
bite.
Mask off the area you don't want to disturb, when you apply the Flex Coat
feather it in to that point for a smooth transition.

Tony,
Do I steel wool it down to the paint, or just rough
it up?
Do you mean mask off the surrounding area- around
where the feather goes? I may want the feather design all the way
around the rod. So do I just rough up that section 360 Deg.?
It's 2 or 3 saltwater rods with boron butt ends
that I want to do, but I have a couple of graphite rods I want to practice
on.
For practicing designs, I laid down some
double-stick tape and stuck the feathers to it in place. Works pretty good
to see lots of designs. Going to use cree
and jungle cock for the designs.

Don,
I would not use Varnish. Use Flex Coat I assume
you mean Graphite rods. Steel wool the area. Mask off the spot you want
to place the feather before steel wooling it
You can set the feather
in place with nail polish to keep ot where you want it. Then apply a
coat of Flex Coat over the feather while the rod is turning to get an
even coat on that section. You can mask off the area and apply a coat
between the tape but that will leave a ridge.

Rod-builders:
I would like to personalize my expensive
rods with feather inlays and a #32 Mustad hook.
Do I need to strip off the finish and
start over?
Can I put a new coat down on a roughed-up
surface, containing the feathers?
How would you go about it?
Thanks,
DonO
