What is the least viscous (most watery) two part epoxy finish? Threadmaster Lite?

Thanks,
Mo

I would think Diamondite may be the one. I am sure others will chime in.

I also think it's Diamondite. Before that the old sponsor KraftKote epoxy that is tinted and used mostly to paint model airplanes, etc.

Diamondite if you still have a good batch of it as to my knowledge it is no longer produced, followed by threadmaster lite.

Aftcote followed by TM Lite. TM Lite cut with Acetone is what you are looking for to do transparent silk wraps.

I'd take a look at LS Supreme. I felt it was closer to water thin than TM Lite.

not even close IMO, and I use classic coat in both lite and high builds very often.

Klass Kote, which is a solvent based epoxy "paint" is the thinnest of the epoxies commonly used for coating guide wraps. It's about the same viscosity as varnish.

If you ever used Clemens Crystal Coat, you were using Klass Kote.
