If I may add... At Flex Coat, all of our equipment is manufactured and assembled by hand in Driftwood, Tx and is OEM quality. That means you buy it once and we back it up. If you are ever left less than happy with a Flex Coat product, call me and I will make it right. Our equipment is compatible up and down the line and there are no upgrades to buy because the best is what we do the first

As for Flex Coat CP, mix or shake, just avoid froth. And while we are on the subject, don't let it freeze. To test our CP brush it out on some clear acetate and let it dry. If it dries clear, its good.

Chris The EBC lasts a long time... I definitely like the idea of disposing of the used EBC before it gets too dirty. A small amount (say 5-10cc) in a bottle or mixing cup should be able to clean a dozen or more brushes. To help with the life span of the EBC, thoroughly wipe the liquid epoxy with a paper towel first. Thanks for posting!

Do you have an outdoor table? Use the Flex Coat Lathe Setup with a drill you already have outside and let the dust fly. No filters, fans or vacs needed. As easy as it gets.

Ernie Yes and no. We believe in finishing a rod at 100 to 200 RPMs and curing at 6 to 40 RPMs. The 100 to 200 RPMs works really really really well at quickly and efficiently getting the finish where you want it and soaked into the thread effectively. Then move to a slower motor for curing or like with our variable speed motor, turn it down to 40 RPMs and cure the finish on the same motor.

I don't know if this is funny but completely true. It was 1990 and I was in the 8th grade. Roger Seiders came into my Industrial Arts class to teach us all to build fishing rods. It was an ultra lite spinning rod. I spent weeks making a custom handle with cork rings and wrapping the rod with black and silver thread. I finished the rod with Flex Coat Highbuild and took it to my Grandparents'

This video is what made my finishing game actually work and get level glass like results. Though this video starts talking about our brushes, that should not be confused with competitors that they made the same color, it finishes with a technique that is easy to understand and use, while not overworking the finish. I went from wavy, uneven finish to smooth, flawless finish in a snap. I just ha

Hey there is no doubt that we could make an epoxy mixer and sell a lot of them, but we don't like them. We mix by hand and recommend it. Think of it as signing off on it being completely mixed. Here is how we do it:
