The stuff you were asking about I think was sold by Clemens now outobussiness. Sold as a temporay guide holder while you wrap the guide instead of a piece of tape. Never tried it. Sounded like a hot melt glue stick. I can only imagine the mess it made

Sometimes an underwrap can "loosen " the action of a rod. Sometimes the opposite. Generally I have found no discernable difference using under wraps. Generally they are for astetics and to protect the blank from the guide foot. Do what you want, its your rod and make it as custom as you can stand.
Because its a 1088 I would underwrap. That rod is a work horse.
