I'm finishing my first fly rod. So far, it looks OK; however, on some of the wraps, there is a "ledge" from the edge of the wrap down to the rod. I am using Flex Coat Lite.

How can this be avoided as I am trying to have a seamless transition from the rod to the wrap.

Would it help to first just apply a small amount of the flex coat in this ledge area - and letting it dry -- before wrapping the entire wrap?

Can anything be done to do away with the ledge that I now have?

Would like to hear what others are doing.
