Go Light with the amount of finish under that guide Guppy.....otherwise is tends to wick up the feet of the guide and gets way too much and looks like crap.

WRT under wraps, I have done several different things. For I have a couple rods, some larger like 50 LB class rods that have noisey clicks when bending, not a big deal but I just wonder why.

So I have done under wraps and then wrapped over them. I have done an underwear and then sealed with CP then wrapped over that. And even did am underwrap and put a thin coat of finish on that then wrapped over. This mainly on BIG stuff, 50's and 80's.
