How long do you guys usually wait after your last coat of finish to use the rod? Re: How Long to Wait?

I go at least 3 days,epoxy finish some times will be a little soft and susceptable to scuffs and dents if you go from the dryer to the water. Freddwhy (Rapt-Ryte) Re: How Long to Wait?

I've only built a few but wait until my fingernail will not mark the coating left in the pan, plus 2 days. Re: How Long to Wait?

It depends somewhat on the type of finish used, but giving it 3 days is a darned good idea. I've done it in less, been really careful, and not had problems, though. Putter Williston, ND Re: How Long to Wait?

Depends on if it's a rod for me, or for someone else. For someone else's rod, I wait a week before I even give it to the person, just to make sure that everything has fully cured.
If it's a rod for me, I'll sometimes fish it the next day. But then again, I'm not so worried about whether or not the finish is easily scuffed, etc. Re: How Long to Wait?

With LS Supreme High Build I give it at least 2 days, 3 is even better. With Flex Coat and warm temperatures, I have taken them out in 24 hours but I don't recommend it. Too easy to bruise or indent the finish and then it's permanent. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
