I do a lot of fresh water rod repair. I have been using Flexcoat High Build just as I do on rod building. I will turn the rod for 2 or so hours. Is there something else I could be using that you don't turn as long. I got a lot more rod repair coming in.
Thanks

Threadmaster sets faster than Flex-Coat and
Diamondite finish sets even faster.

Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..

To clarify what Ray said ... Threadmaster REGULAR sets in a fairly short amount of time, Threadmaster LITE takes a very long time.

Diamondite will not only set, but cure, within 1-1.5 hours with the application of heat and air circulation.

Where am I able to get these items. I get most of my items from Mud Hole I didn't see them on there web site.

Mud Hole most definitely carries Diamondite ... [shop.mudhole.com]

IMO, you shouldn't even be messing with anything else for repair work. This makes it so easy, it is almost cheating. BTW, do read the instructions below for using Diamondite ... it is NOT an epoxy. It is super easy to use, but different.

Understand that it is NOT an epoxy, it is an adhesive based product.

1. Don't overmix it, 30-45 secs is plenty.

2. After mixing, let it sit for 4-5 minutes to allow finish to mature.

3. Don't pour it out in a thin layer like epoxy ... just the opposite, keep it in a deep container while using it. It is unique, rather like glue and paint - when in significant capacity ... it doesn't dry or at least not quickly at all. But spread it thin, and poof ... it quickly dries and sets. I use the small souffle cups like the FC product for mixing and applying Diamondite. The working time is about an hour, even at my shop temp of 80 degrees.

4. It is VERY clear.

5. It is VERY strong and hard.

6. It is VERY flexible.

7. You CAN apply additional coats long after the others - again, those adhesive properties kick in.

8. It does NOT contain any amines ... no sensitivity issues.

9. It levels very well.

10. It penetrates very well.

11. It actually stays where you put it and can be applied thin or thick, pretty cool trick considering how accustomed most of us are to epoxies.

12. It WILL slice your delivery time by DAYS.

13. Always remember, 1 part activator and 2 parts base component. BTW, it isn't real picky about the ratio ... obviously, mix it in proper ratio - but it won't fry your potatoes like epoxies do when the numbers aren't right.

14. It cures via evaporation and will cure in the same amount of time as other finishes. However, should you desire to accelerate the drying time ... you can do so with heat and or air movement. Complete jobs CAN be cured in as little as 1-1.5 hours - completely ready to ship/fish.

15. Should you care to use CP, it is best to use Diamondite CP. The CP will cure enough in 15 minutes to apply finish, although I like to wait an hour or so.
