Recoating cured finish

I would like to put a 2nd coat of Threadmaster on guide wraps that were done last year. (i'm not happy with the one-coat finish) I'm wondering if I can put the 2nd coat directly over, or if I will need to o/wise prepare the cured finish beforehand.

I have had success by cleaning the old finish well with ISO alcohol, lightly sand the old finish - then apply new finish.

Be VERY careful you do not nick the thread. You will get fuzzies and will have to redo wrap or at least pile on an extra thick coat or two.

I just clean the guide bases and the blank with Windex, or Simple green cleaner. Let dry overnight and apply finish. Works for me just fine.

Be safe

Just did as suggested above..lightly sanded to give the recoat some grip, wiped down with alcohol and recoated. I smoothed it out as best I could with a spatula, then lightly warmed it with a Bic lighter, to get it "almost" flowing. It came out smooth and clear as crystal. Thanks again for the help.
