Had a gentleman come to me to build him a rod from a kit he had gotten for a gift . Had gotten the rod almost completed ,except for putting the epoxy on the thread . I had already put color preserver on the thread . The gentleman came back to see how I was coming along with the rod .I told him I only had to put the epoxy on the thread and it would be finished . He said that he liked the way things looked without the epoxy . just to put a couple more coats of color preserver on and leave it at that .. Will this hold up without the epoxy ?? <<<<DON>>>> Fort Myers Fla. Re: Odd Request

You might advise him to let you put a coat of urethane on the wraps. That would protect them for a very long time and wouldn't change the look by much.

Certainly not long term, and certainly not as stable as with epoxy on the guide wraps.

Thank you Tom . I will do just that . By any chance would you have a certain brand of urethane in mind ? <<<<DON>>>> Fort Myers Fla. Re: Odd Request

Any exterior gloss furniture or floor urethane will work for this.

what about one coat of permagloss or lumiseal? Re: Odd Request

That would be just as good, if not better.

I agree with Tom and Gary, a sealing coat of lumiseal or permagloss would lock in the guides and thread, and not change the look of the rod much. Re: Odd Request

Strangely enough, I've had the same request two times before. I did exactly what Tom suggested. The customer was happy and the rods are still in good shape. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
