She told me, but , nooooo, I did not listen again!!! She always said,``KEEP YOUR HANDS TO THEM -SELVES``.
That was good advice as I was growing up. It is still good advice today. Just two hours ago I epoxied up the guides and all, I built an epoxie ramp to the fore grip. When I came back to look at it I just had to touch!!!!! I wish some one would slap my hands now!!!!! I think Dad was right. I AM A BIG DUMMY!!!!!!!!! i think it will be OK though, phewwww Bill Ohio Rod Builders Canton, Ohio Re: Always listen to your mother

Relax! Everything is gonna be alright.
1) First call your 120-step program sponsor (you have joined one right?) 2) Sit down, take your meds ( you did re-fill the prescription?) hope so! DO NOT BEAT UP on yourself! Your not the only one to fall off the wagon. Been there, done that. Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it.. Re: Always listen to your mother

I don't know of any rodbuilder who has not done that at least once.
It's part of the obsessive compulsive disorder we call rodbuilding. Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it.. Re: Always listen to your mother

Many fine artists; painters, sculptors, etc. will put their thumbprint on their pieces to authentic them. Why not fishing rods too? :) Re: Always listen to your mother

Bill;
As Ray said ,we have all done it once at least. I did it to a ramp about 4 days ago. I touched the finish left in the cup and didn't leave a print. I touched the ramp and left a print. I had to put another coat on it anyway. Re: Always listen to your mother

As others have said, you're not the only one. A little heat will sometimes fix it, but sometimes not. Re: Always listen to your mother

Bill,
I always have the same urge. To solve the problem, I keep the mixing cup - in which I mixed the last coating - under the drying rod. If I have the urge to "touch", I touch the mixture in the cup to check on the status of the cure. I had the same issue a long time ago, and this was my solution to the "touching issue". Take care Roger Re: Always listen to your mother

I always keep them near the rod on the dryer so I can check if it is done or not. I have that same strange need to touch the epoxy and see if it is dry enough .
