Just got a chance to try the new Diamond II finish I got at the ICRBE.
Silvia you have out done yourself girl !! This stuff is GREAT !!
Goes on smooth as silk and levels out perfectly, and is Chrystal clear.
Had some bubbles during mixing, as I always do,( you would think I borrowed Silvia's egg beater) but they all popped and went away.
I love the stuff !!

J.B.

I wondered where my egg beater went!

Well, I thank you for taking the time to try us out and even happier that you have discovered how well suited our product is to this craft.

When my uncle, Gene Bullard, offered the first two part epoxy the response was the same then as it is now—rod builders love it. This product clearly stands up to the test of time.

Thanks so much and it was our pleasure meeting you.
