Aftcote

I just decided to use aftcote on my surf rod. It seems as there is not much information on this product, so I decided to try it for my self. Several good things in my experience 1, Crystal Clear 2, Long pot life 3 Easy to work with 4, Very Flexable. It seems as it takes a very long time to set up it took an average of 9 hours before i was brave enough to dry to the touch. I am ready to throw out my dura gloss. Since Aftcote is so thin after you mix it let it sit if you want a higher build then apply.

I went just the opposite direction. Threw out my Aftcote and made the high build LS Supreme my 'go-to' finish. Everybody likes something different. Just thankful we have so many types to choose from.

I took 6CCs of Aftcote, poured it into a foil container, let it set up. There is no other finish as Flexible, imo. You can bend it every which way, it doesn't split.
