I am looking for a finish for Metallic Rod Thread that will retain the bright finish that is there after wrapping on a rod.
I am losing most of it after applying the Epoxy. Color Preserver doesn't work. Help! Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

Try Perma Gloss or Lumiseal. Both allow the bright colors to shine through. Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

Ted what are you using? I use ThreadMaster light and am very happy with metallic thread colors after two coats on it.

Since he brought it up. What is the best Epoxy out there and why? I use Flex coat. I am curious what everyone thinks. Lone Wolf Rods "Keep your powder dry and your lines wet" God Bless Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

The best one is the one you are most comfortable using. They all act a little different but all work well. ______________________________________ Super Tight Lines......Don Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

Buzz: I am using ProKote and I am very happy with it but had trouble with the gold Metallic thread. Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

I love the working time and clarity....bubble free! I usually apply one to two coats of Perma Gloss and then a couple of coats of the ProKote and the wraps look fantastic. I also use metallic exclusively. Don Campbell don@sensorfishingrods.com Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

So why do use Perma Gloss and prokote? I never heard of that? I use color perserve and then high build. Lone Wolf Rods "Keep your powder dry and your lines wet" God Bless Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

It seems to me that anyone who only uses one thread type, whether it is Regular, NCP, or Metalic only, severely limits their ability to create beautiful wraps. Combinations of different thread types have allowed me to make what some have called amazing wraps over the years. I have an enormous collection of thread in all different sizes and just about every color, and use them all to one extent or another. Just my view. Re: Finish for Metallic Rod Thread

Not sure what's going on with metallic not looking good. I've used 4 brands of thread, NCP + regular nylon + metallic with and without three brands of CP with Prokote and Flex coat lite and regular and have had zero problems with metallic not looking terrific. My only insight has nothing to do with appearance: Pro Kote seems to take longer to cure and cures a little softer than Flex Coat. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
