Im using flex coat on a finish base wrap. My second coat is slightly sticky. Its been curing for about 4 days and not getting any better. It is a little sticky to the touch... I've used flex coat for many years with no trouble. I guess it was not an exact 50/50 mix on my part????/ WIll another coat fix it?? Thanks for all replies Re: sticky/tacky finish

Another properly mixed coat will cover up the problem. Measure correctly and mix thoroughly! Re: sticky/tacky finish

Try HEAT first, put the rod in a very warm area of the house or in the sun in a closed up car. If it wont set after 24hrs of warmth, recoat as stated above.

If it is really uncured (sticky) denatured alcohol will take it off. Might be messy if it is partially cured. Re: sticky/tacky finish

it seems to be almost fully cured...just little tacky..... feels like you are touching old, worn out tape... Re: sticky/tacky finish

Recently had a similar problem as the result of using syringes that had the markings rubbed off and therefore did not have a true 1:1 mixture. After a few days the finish was sticky. Mixed a new batch with new syringes and made sure the mixture was 1:1, applied it and it came out perfect. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
