All of those, plus threadmaster and a half dozen others. They all work.

Be safe

How's the working time with the Threadmaster Lite? Tried Flex Coat lite, and it seemed like once it started to thicken, it did so quickly.

I like AftCoat ... But I have used many. They all work. It's more a matter of what you get used to using regularly

Pro Kote high build is my favorite.. Threadmaster is also a favorite. When it comes to color preservers.. American Tackle acrylic is my choice.

Pro Kote for me.....longer working time and dries crystal clear. I did not have the best results with Flex Coat....cured very quickly and yellowed in a very short time.
