Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rod Line-Up Markings?

Gene used to white out his entire rod..it was more white than black. Like a zebra.  Lefty Kreh covered this in one if his books, if my memory works it tells me he suggested using nail polish for dots. White out is good as it doesn't dissolve when wet.

I've always just sighted down the rod against the sky above and ignored the line-up marks.  You could take some white-out and do your own if you want -- I used to white out my bait rods so I could see the tip move if a catfish or carp was messing around with it in low light conditions ;).

So a couple of my rods don't have line-up markings on the respective pieces near each joint.  The 2 piece is obviously easier to assemble accurately, but the 4-piece is always a pain.  Anyone have any tips for getting around this, or type of paint that I could use to mark myself?  I was thinking craft paint from Michael's or something of the like.  But even then, anyone have a great way to know your pieces are 100% lined up before marking? 
 
Thanks in advance!
