Hey guys new member here, and while I have followed the site for years but I’ve never had a need to post. Unfortunately now I do. Yesterday I coated my but wrap with ProKote in the packer so I could apply a decal as recommended my the manufacturer . It hasn’t dried , This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I am not willing to try going over it with the same and I’m out of my ProKote bottle. I do have some Thread Master. Can I put that over the uncurled finish or do I order more ProKote? This is certainly frustrating, Thanks for any suggestions.

Doubtful there is anything wrong with the finish. measuring and/or mixing, perhaps.

Yes you can apply Thread Master of the top of the ProKote.

Yes - whether you believe it or not - you used the same component twice. Happens to the best. Must concentrate when mixing.

Look at the levels in your bottles - if they are the same or close to it, you have a mixing error. If one is noticeably higher or lower than the other, then it's the scenario that Herb stated. If the latter, wipe off as much as you can and then recoat with a proper mix. If the former, just recoat with a proper mix as is.

Thanks guys. I used the small packets of ProKote that hold 6gr. I thought they would be convienent for guide repairs. I must not of gotten all of the products out . I’ll try my Thread Master.

be sure to mix well..that,s my biggest problem with uncured epoxy..i just don,t mix enough..it happens too often and once is too often..lol.

Rocky, just like to add that i think those epoxy packs are great..i buy a dozen at a time and weigh each packet..so far they are exactly 6 grams allowing for the wrapper..so when i get an uncured mix i know it,s because i didn,t stir the components enough..it,s not because of too little component, one or the other..it,s my fault..lol.

Whenever I mix thread coating epoxy, I use equal parts of A and of B. Then, using a craft stick mix slowly for at least 120 seconds or 2 minutes as measured by the clock. More is fine as well. I frequently wipe the stir stick off on the edge of the mixing cup. I also frequently scrape the sides of the mixing cup to insure that 100% of the mix is mixed slowly. I use the plastic sample cups from the local deli. I buy them a box at a time from the deli.

I used to just mix it up until it looked mixed, but never timed it. After having one bad experience with inadequately mixed epoxy, I always use the clock on the wall to time myself and to avoid under mixing the epoxy.

Best wishes.

Well I went over the uncurled thread wrap with Thread Master. Cured up fine. I guess I’ll dig my other packets out . Thanks

the only reason packetpoxy doesn,t cure is because it,s not mixed long enough..
