got a new gator to wrap. there is an area where it looks like ther is too much coating. it chipped a litle and can see the glass. what can i do to hide this ?

debigone23

prolly just put more glass on it but ernie or obie will know the true answer!!

Tiderider

Without seeing the blank I can only imagine how much of the top gloss coat is missing, but there is a product called perma-gloss which should fix your problem.

have you ever coated a whole rod with this ?

Tiderider

No but I'm pretty sure Ernie has and I know I've read about other builders using it on entire rods.

is it better than flex coat ?

Tiderider

It's not as thick or as heavy as flexcoat. That is why it's recommended for light rods and for a thin finish over the blank. It will actually hold guides onto the blank without thread strong enough for fishing believe it or not.

i know a man that has used the stuff to put guides on a little rods
on one of them he caught a 27lb king off of ft pickens pier
