I just finished my 2nd rod and am still disappointed in my epoxy finish on my threads wraps that are wider at the ferruls. The epoxy was thick and thin and I couldn't even it out. When I'm finished you can see and feel thick and thin rings of epoxy from my brush. I am useing FlexCoat high build epoxy.

Should I use the FlexCoat light finish? I read were beginers should use the high build.

Would another brand be more forgiveing or do I just need more practice?
