diamondite thread finish

I have built several rods using diamondite finish. First impression, I loved it ,easy to use and had a very clear glass like finish.After a few fishing trips and leaving the rods in the boat over night the wraps turned cloudy almost milky looking has any one else had this problem. I hear that threadmaster is just as easy to use but stays clear......Help

There have been several lengthly threads discussing the same problem with it. I have noy had any of my e-mails or a phone message returned by the company.

Threadmaster definately stays clear. I have been a user of Threadmaster almost since it came out and love it. After hearing good things about Diamondite, I gave it a try but it didn't take me long to go back to TM

I have used TM & TM lite ever since they have come out and have had really good results. I have never used Diamondite finish.

I have used Diamodite for spot repairs with good results. I have not used it on an entire rod.

I recently ran out of Flex Coat which has been my favored product for years. I bought some Threadmaster to give it a try and I am extremely pleased with the product. I've probably done 25-30 rods now with TM and the results are perfect every time.
