At the panel seminar someone asked Ralph "the Legend" O'Quinn "What's the best material to refinish a rod blank?" - Answer PermaGloss. Which led to an experiment using PermaGloss as a medium to change a rod blank color. Which led to 2-3 people at my booth with gloves on and a bowl of PermaGloss. It works but lesson learned: Don't mix in plastic unless you want a mess!

This is a photo of the first stripper guide on a 9wt AMTAK matrix fly rod blank. Underwrap is "gossamer" nylon gold (non metallic) burnishd to show gold/silver blotching to match Pac Bay milled reel seat with medium green silk overwraps on the guide foot. Hard to see but the green thread begins on the blank & spirals up to open loops. Finish is two coats of thin epoxy.
