I have a buddy who is willing to let me try and rebuild his old Glass rod. It's in a pretty sad state right now, missing guides etc. What should be my first step? I was thinking to just strip it of everything, and then lightly wetsand the paint off, to start with a renewed blank. Would this be a bad idea? Any tips will be greatly appreciated! Oh, and one more important thing, I've obviously never refinished a rod before, so keep that in mind!
