restoring rods
I have a couple of custom Murat wrapped rods. The wrapping colors on the rods is filthy and clouded. I don't want to change the guides or wrapping as these are a work of art. I need help with the following:
•I think the finish on the wrapping is varnish - would that have been his method of finish?
•If it is varnish - how can I clean it up without destroying the wrap or the origional threads?
•What can be used to refinish the wraps?
•Can flexcoat be used to restore the colors?
•Is flexcoat the way to go, or is there something other that would be better?
•The rod has been using tape on reel system. Is there a two piece reel seat made that can be applied without removing the origional guides? The handle is cork tape all the way. Now failing where the reel was applied.
•Anyone have any suggestions on refinishing the rods?
Rods are 11'6" white blanks. Two different actions...
