Hey all,
Just finished my first layer of epoxy on a musky rod I'm fixing for a friend, used Aftco epoxy for the first time and it came off a little light. I know I will do another coat but was almost thinking a third depending how the second coat looked... nothing wrong with three coats of epoxy is there? besides weight and waste of epoxy that is... Any one else us this stuff? Re: Epoxy Layers

The thickness of a coat is mostly determined by how much you put on. In other words - that part is up to you. What constitutes 3 of your coats may only be 2, or even 1, of somebody else's.

What Mr. Kirkman said. On a 12 guide flyrod, I'll use 3-4 CC's of resin. On an abused 5 guide one piece boat rod, I will use 10-15 CC's of resin. Really goop'er on, to save the threads getting bared against the gunwales, etc, causing premature failure from salt water invasion. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
