Dan, Glad you mentioned that. It is real important that the gloss is removed. Tony

Did you take the gloss of the blank in that spot, I found that a light rub with fine steel wool before signing and coating take helps.

My rod building marathon has helped me do a better, faster, job, but there is one problem I haven't been able to solve: It is the long, thin coat of epoxy used to cover the logo/rod information and builder signature. I haven't been able to get it to look like it typically looks on commercial rods. It doesn't look terrible (someone less critical might not notice), but when looked at from the side it is obvious that the thickness varies in places. I have assumed that the rotating rod would smooth it out perfectly during curing, but it is has never been perfectly smooth. Might it have something to do with the thickness of the epoxy? Do I need to thin it a bit when doing this part of the rod? And if so, what should I use for a thinner?
Thanks, Tom Davenport
