I used the same thread for both rods. It is a greyish blue. Its not too light though. The first rod looks great. This second rod just has a light green tint to it where the thread is blue and the epoxy has yellowed. I've painted hundreds of lures and coated them with epoxy and haven't noticed near the yellowing I did with TM Lite. Must have been my mixing. So if I want to use this blue thread,

I purchased TM Lite this past February and built my first rod. The epoxy on that rod still appears clear. However, I just built a new rod a couple weeks ago and the epoxy has already yellowed. It is the first time I used it since February but it has been stored in a cool dark cabinet. Is it just old or did I mix it incorrectly?

HPS Quick Lock is what I'm using now. I was hoping there was something I could use that just had threads. But I need the sleave and the tubing that would be glued to the rod. Right now I am using the HPS as the sleeve and a piece of a skeleton real seat for the tubing. Just looking to make it cheaper.

I am looking to buy some threaded tubing to make a fore grip. I am trying to make a custom grip similar to a Fuji HPS Quicklock. I just need something similar to 16 size tubing that would be needed. So I would need the tubing that goes on the rod and then some tubing that would thread onto the tubing on the rod. Any ideas?
