What are the UV cured resins that OEM's use? Anyone know a trade name or source?
I was looking at the UV cured 3D printer resin that I have and it occured to me that it might be the same stuff. From a MSDS on the stuff- "Substance Identity CAS No. Approx. Weight (%) Urethane Acrylate 877072-28-1 30~55 Acrylic Monomer 64401-02-1 30~55 Photoinitiator 119-61-9 0~5" which is an aliphatic urethane acrylate and a bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate. anyone tried using a 405nm cured resin for rod finish?

Do a search on this forum for UV cured finishes. More pitfalls than advantages with this type finish for custom builders. Manufacturers that use it do so for its quick curing times, not for any performance or longevity advantages.

Tom -
Respectfully, I did try searching with the forum search option and there were only 4 posts, all within the last 2 weeks. After some digging, using the site option for google I found more. site:rodbuilding.org UV cured Thank you for your advice on UV finishes. Dennis Re: UV Cured Resin Finish?

I got 19 results on my first try. If you change the words around and try a few different ones you will get more results. The consensus seems to be that those finishes tend to crack pretty badly over time. Re: UV Cured Resin Finish?

No need to go to a finish not designed for custom builders. Plenty of options that perform very well that ARE designed for custom builders. Re: UV Cured Resin Finish?

Compared to custom rod building thread finish like flex coat, I suppose those UV cured resins are harder? It would make sense for proper thread finish like flex coat to be softer as it wouldn't crack like the mass manufactured rods. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
