Aftcote finish

Hi,

I'm curious to know how the longevity on the aftcote finish is. Will it stand up to daily use and abuse. Also how does it stand up to other epoxy finishes.

Curtis,
I use Aftcote all the time and really like it. I used to use LS Supreme but I like Aftcote a bit better. It has an extremely long pot life and handles external heat very well. It can sometimes be finicky as far as mixing exact measurements go but as long as you measure properly no problems. As far as longevity, I've never had a problem with it. You might want to also look at Threadmaster. I've tried it and like it better than Aftcote. Randy.

Just click on SEARCH near the top and type in Threadmaster and you will get plenty of info. Also, go to the Lamar site on the left
