Thanks, Tony
I want to tackle this during my recovery after surgery Thursday.

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
