Hello fellow rodbuilders, First off I must thank Tom Kirkman and and the Left List of sponsers for such a
wonderfull resource site. My hat is off to the many talented pros on the board with their hard earned knowledge they share so generously. And to Doc Ski, Ken Preston and Artie Herbert whose videos and dvds I watched who make rod building look so easy ,shame on you because now I'm hooked on it. I have started on my first rod after gathering up supplies and tools for a while. I bought Flex-Coat hi build and Permagloss finishes for thread wraps and chose to go with the Permagloss on the first rod. Everthing was going as well as could be expected for a first attempt, I laid down a decal above the fore grip and sealed with color preserver and it came out great. After two coats of Permagloss I was ready to put the next coat on and I noticed a sliver of I think its hardned Permagloss stuck to the finish. I waited 24 hours and then sanded very lightly with 600 grit sandpaper but when I put the next coat on the area I sanded has the edges lifted in the finish like there was a reaction to the old and new coats. Should I have waited longer for the finish to cure? Also I forgot to order brush cleaner with the Permagloss and have been using denatured alcohol maybe thats the problem. Thanks guys and gals sorry for the long post. Jerry Springs For Joe Kassuba

I think you'll need to use Xylene to clean those brushes if you don't have the actual U-40 brush cleaner.
You probably waited too long to reapply your finish, but let's ask Ralph or Joe about that. I'm not sure which you wanted to go there. ................ Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
