    Second layer of thread finish?

    Any downside/negatives?
    A few of mine got a little thinner than I wanted so I was thinking of applying a second layer over top to increase thickness. just enough to give it that slightly raised look, probably the equivalent of an extra small drop.

    Wouldn't see why it would hurt anything. not like its going to make a huge amount heavier or anything like that

    Lots of people do two coats, it's not a problem.
    Especially if you're using a light build finish coat. High Build you can do a one coat finish.

    Every rod I build I do with two coats of thread finish. I purposefully put the first coat on thin to make sure it penetrates the thread and doesn't bubble or have imperfections, then a second thin coat to smooth everything out. Lots of people do three or even more coats, particularly on fancy wraps like tiger wraps.

    I do 2 coats on all of my builds. 1st cost i use TM Lite, just to get thread thread penetration. It always looks like ass. 2nd coat, I use TM regular. It covers what the first coat didn't and it comes out perfect.
