What's your thoughts on coating a 1/2" fiberglass rod 10' long?

Honestly, I have no experience with coating fiberglass. Don't know how it would adhere with a porous fiber medium. Also would have to go with an air cure, I don't know of anyone who could fit a 10' rod in their oven.

Really nice work, I can't say I'm a fan of the color scheme though.

I did some light research on "ranger colors" awhile back and found that historically they were pretty speckled. I finally settled on a light brown as probably being by far the most representative color of the colonial and Revolutionary War era rangers. But all I was trying to do was pick a shade I thought would trim out a line drawing of a Revolutionary War battle scene without taking one's eye away from the scene to the frame. Interestingly, a committee got together to frame a much fancier presentation piece related to the same battle at about the same time I was making my selection, and as far as I could tell from a photographic image of the finished piece later on, they came up with the identical color right down to or very near the specific shade. I was basically going for the natural color of deerskin and/or butternut, because "butternut" (or at least acorn) was a readily available natural dye... and I guess that committee came to pretty much the same conclusion. There's no such thing as a specific shade that is butternut, and deerskin isn't an exact color either, so I went for what I figured a nut dye would be like with considerable sun-fading.

Only you could make a whole paragraph out of that nonsense and then carry me all the way to the end of it.
