Has anyone done a 50/50 mix of Tm lite and Tm high build? Meaning like Billy's blend of Prokote and TM.

Hi Chris,
No, not exactly that, but I did mix up a batch of TM finish using the lite resin and the high hardener, my excuse is that I'm old. Speaking to the vey helpful chap at RodDancer, Scott, just from memory, his advice was, it shouldn't be done, but if it cures ok, you have gotten away with it. Which it did and I have caught many fish with it over the years, without any problem what so ever.
Shoot them an email and ask, you will find them very nice people.
Kind regards, Rod.

Have done it with ls supreme because the high build was for me too hard to work with. Obviously it gives you a mediun cosistancy. Make sure that you use the same amount of a@ b of each. Should be fine

Are you trying to thin out the high build ??

They said it should not be done But I thin out flex coat UV high build It works and Well

I would think just as long as you mix two of the same A to A or B to B

I have heard over the past few months of people doing just what you have asked and done it successfully. I don't recommend Part A from one and B from the other, but if you mix A & B of each separately and then blend them together you should not have a problem.
Thank you for using our products

It worked like a charm. And I think I've found a new finish combo.
