If its hard and just tacky you can recoat. If its soft and tacky then cut it off and redo.

Depending on where it cured and the type of finish it may take a while to cure. Example , Aftcote at 60 degrees , maybe 3 or 4 days. Flex coat at 75 degrees , maybe 6 to 10 hours.

rod wraping finish

Thanks saltheart will try it. The worst that can happen is that I'll have to re-wrap the guide.
