    I'd recommend using the rod finish. Start with smaller batches, and practice on something (anything) else, before starting on the finished wraps. Go slowly, don't try to rush it. You'll be glad, in the end, you mastered that step. Oops, forgot to say, in addition, use thin applications. If you need to use a second coat, fine, just don't get too much on at a time.

    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
