The floor coating industry has mostly gone urethane. Epoxy wouldn't be the best product for that job.

You would not want to put PG over epoxy.

Hi Bill

I am trying to avoid epoxy on the decals and the over run from my wraps onto the blank. When the epoxy starts to yellow it to terrible on a white blank.

Thank You,

Chris Tulk

I would not put PG over epoxy. I have done many white rods and if you keep it very close to that red thread you should be ok.

Hi Tom

I think I will try your method for this one. I do want to try the PG over the wraps but I will try that on my own personal rod first.

Do you use decals and do you use PG over them?

Thank You,

Chris Tulk
