Guide replacement question

Removed epoxy, broken guide feet, and thread to the end of the wraps. The area under those wraps is matte. Appears the whole blank was finished (glossy), so there is a significant build up of epoxy which averages up to where the old wrap began. Should I just leave that alone, wrap the new guide filling the space that has the matte finish, and overlap the new epoxy over the old? Or wetsand the high spots before wrapping?
