Hi folks. I hope everybody is staying safe in these interesting times.
I am building my second fly rod. Don't look too closely at the material for this blank**, not relevant to this discussion
. I'm using Flex Coat High Build epoxy for the thread finish on this rod. I put on one very thin saturating coat and let that cure and then was planning on putting another thin finish coat on. But it occurred to me, do I really need to? The picture is representative of what the wraps look like so far. Thread texture can be felt at some spots. If the additional coat would just be cosmetic I might not bother and save the weight.
** The blank is a graphite Batson Rainshadow Revelation 10' 5wt 2-piece, if anybody is interested.
