Scale patterns, flip flop colors(turn them one way they are one color turn them the other they are a different color), solid colors, metallic, marbled. 300 of them to choose from in many different sizes.

PitPaste- cork gap filler 1 and 2oz

LumiSeal- one part urethane thread and rod finish in 2 and 4oz

Ultimate Epoxy Optimum Flow- for those who don't like the Thickness of the paste but think the other liquids on the market are too thin, this should fit the bill. Slow cure and 15min. 4 and 8oz kits

I understand your question, but guys need to realize that part of the reason people attend such an event is to be able to enjoy deals that they couldn't otherwise obtain. There is a time and a place for discounts, close-outs, etc., and once a year events are that time and place.

Having said that, and not wanting to speak for Scott or any other vendor, I would imagine that anything not sold at the Expo might be offered after the event at reduced prices. Just something you'll have to inquire about afterwards.

Scott I feel your pain, I wish everyone could make this event, not just for the amazing deals but two days of this show with the seminars and just the get togethers with other rodbuilders keeps you up to date on everything going on in the buisiness to date. The rodbuilders share everything, seems there are no secrets among them which makes you feel comfortable and proud to be among them. Missing just one of these would make me feel like I was light years behind the buisiness. Where theres a will theres a way, try your best to attend next years if all possible, there are rodbuilders that would walk across the country barefooted thru bubblegum to get there, me for one.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious!

Hi all. Are there any rod building shows (albeit smaller) in the Washington DC area?

Thanks.
