rotorhead Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have several old spinning rods and the finish is cracking. The line guides and their wrappings are in good shape. I would like to lightly sand between the guides and the apply some type of finish. What would you recommend and should the rod be turned while the new finish dries thanks rotorhead lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Many use U40 Permagloss for that. Its more work but some will mask off the guide wraps and spray an automotive clear from an aresol can. Rotating is necessary with these coatings.

Musky Glenn Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) I use lacquer from a spray can. I clean the rod as good as I want it, then spray over eyes and every thing down to the fore grip. Two minutes of hand turning and it is dry enough to not run. I still put d2t over the eye wrappings.
