Finished the final coat of epoxy this afternoon. I am pretty pleased with the outcome but it wasn't a job without screw-ups. When installing the butt grip I did not put the epoxy up high enough on the rod. The epoxy acts like a lubricant when you apply it to the top of where the grip sits when it stops and I just failed to do that. Needless to say, I was not able to push the grip all of the way down on the first try and I had to cut the entire grip off. In doing so, I left a nice scratch on the blank which I was able to partially cover with the decorative wrap. Oh well, live and learn. Here are the finished pics which look alot like the other pics. Can't wait to try this rod out!
