Yep, first the guides (after finding the spine on the rod) are taped on, then wrap the thread, then apply the flex coat. Threadmaster lite is a brand of epoxy similar to Flex Coat brand, but thinner. I just got it to try out for the first time.

There are some great tutorials on mudhole with video that you can watch... I learned a lot from these: Rod Building 101

Good luck!
