You made a mistake because you said you were rushing. Next time fill both syringes (part A and part B) then fill the cup. Having a system you repeat every time will greatly reduce the possibility of mistakes. Permagloss is a great product. I apply on thread and let cure before I add epoxy... especially on metallic thread. It can be bought from most suppliers to the left.

Stay with the finish It is easier to use
Mark the syringes I mark the bottles with an A or a B then make the syringe to go with it Less trouble
Just take your time Mix equal amounts and you get the same results every time

Working with thread epoxy isn't difficult. However, it has been mentioned numerous times on this forum that there is something of a learning curve with epoxy. So newer users of thread epoxy will find their epoxy appearance will improve as they work with the product over time. With this in mind I usually recommend obtaining scrap rod sections and practice guide wrapping and finishing until they're satisfied with the results - then do epoxy work on a rod. Fewer errors will result. The builder will be more confident when applying epoxy and happier with the finished rod.

Yes, this approach takes time - maybe weeks. Yes, this approach delays first use of a new fishing rod. But, it's worth it.
