It's not the original version, but still a very good finish. As good as anything else out there. Handles much like regular Flex Coat (about the same viscosity), very clear and easy to work with.

I tried it recently and really like it. It is relatively thin, but still a single coat finish. It levels nicely with no bubbles. Re: diamond 2 rod finish

I use it all the time. I like it better than anything else I have tried. It works about like flexcoat but it seems to have a little longer pot life giving you a little more time to get it applied before it starts to get thick. I also have a lot less of a bubble problem with it. If you want to put postage money on my Papal I will send you a sample kit. Just send me a PM and I will mail it to you. Pat If anyone else wants a sample kit send me a PM. Re: diamond 2 rod finish

I tried it and had about the same results as above. It's a great looking crystal clear finish, slightly lower viscosity than flex coat high build, has a little bit longer pot life, and less bubbles (maybe do to viscosity). I still use it and flex coat high build. I like both. I am about 2/3 's done with the 8 oz. Diamond II that I purchased to try out and have had no problems. It's a little more expensive. I haven't decided what I'm going to buy when I run out. Re: diamond 2 rod finish

Can you thin it with Acetone and well it take heat like Flex Coat? Good Wraps Bob Re: diamond 2 rod finish

You can thin is with acetone, as you can any of them, but it's not recommended. Yes it can be lighted heated or flamed to release bubbles just like Flex Coat.

Bob,
It's the only single coat epoxy that I have never needed to heat or even consider adding acetone. Robert Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
