I noticed that Prokote is now available in a high build formula. Has anyone used it yet? If so, how would your rate it? Drying time, harness, clarity etc. I tried the original but the dry time turned me off, plus I am just really comfortable with high build formulas unless I'm building a fly rod.

I have used both. Its similar to flex coat high build, but, better clairity. I still use flex coat due to prokote formula going bad on me after 2 weeks. prokote goes on the rod better with better thread penetration than flex coat, but i like the overall finish from flex coat high build. It just requires you to work it a little more and it takes a little more to get the air out of flex coat but half of the cure time. personal preference I guess. Re: New ProKote High Build

David,
I did most of the testing on the original formula of the new High Build. On the half dozen or so rods I built I found that it is a little higher viscosity than the Flex Coat, is much clearer, has about twice the working time and sets up in about 3 hours.
