Abrade Blank

The Ken Preston Logo

   

The next step is to very lightly abrade the rod blank. This is necessary to provide a good adhesive surface for the new finish.  A good 600 (or finer) grit emory cloth works well. Remember: the objective is NOT to  remove the entire finish down to the matting. Although this can produce an interesting "cross hatch" pattern in a transparent finish, I recommend that  you start with something simpler.
