epoxy over open wrap

This is a two part question. first on an open wrap do you guys just keep laying it until it smooth's out like a glass tube if so about how may coats. My epoxy jobs look great I just like that glass tube look with out the wave. I'm thinking I need to just accept the fact it may have some wave. 2nd How do you post a pic and put the link so I can get some feed back on my wraps I have never had another rod builder give me tips on my work but am looking for some.

Register on the photo page and post your photo there. Then copy the URL showing in the browser window when your photo is up. You can then post that here.

A wrap which isn't level to begin with isn't going to be level after applying epoxy thread finish. The only way to do that is to keep adding additional applications until you have enough thickness to block sand it flat, then add one additional coat on the then level surface.
