Hello
Blank refinishing has been covered here several times you should use the
search function .
Last winter I shared some of the finer details of my time proven blank refinishing methods if you follow the topic
What's On Your Bench you can see what works best for me.

Just got back to the bench this afternoon,a few extra days for the paint to dry was needed anyhow ,Didn't get back to the Yellow Fenwick bling wrapping or get started wrapping the first 2 of the 6 Phillipsons.
One of the advantages of being retired the work can always wait.
The Light Tan Paint on the 5'8" "Damm Sweet Mighty Lite" looked like crap literally.
Today I over painted it with the dark brown,looks much richer more like dark Chcolate Now.
The rest of the blanks all looked great,decided to add some Chcolate Brn to the butt section of the Marigold Yellow 7'8" "Little Hoosic Bentley".
Tagged This Rod In Honor of my Good Friend Charles Bentley whom did excavation work when I built my shop on the bank of the Little Hoosic River back in 1990.
Charley was at my door almost every morning for Coffee for many many years.
We have another thread running where a member asked about masking off Ferrules and such when refinishing rod blanks,adding some pictures of the rod sections plugs and tape ups,etc.
You will also see where the L.H.B.was masked off at the 18" Mark,the point I place my Signature Wrap on most every rod I've made,the finishing touches I have planned for this rod are going to be like no Phillipson I've ever seen.
That's clear plastic wrap covering the yellow area of the blank.
