3. Re: Foul up. Help

I agree with Micheal. If it’s a casting rod move the first guide. Then it will be like a semi acid wrap rod.

9. Pro Flex rod coat

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how long Pro flex rod coat takes to fully cure. I was told that Aftcote is now Pro Flex. It’s been 35 hours since I applied to the guides and it is still tacky. I have used flex coat but switched to Pro Flex because of a longer pot life Any response would be much appreciated. I’m new to rod building

10. Re: AFTCOTE finish

I just tried Pro flex rod coat which took the place of Aftcote. It is still real tacky after 24 hours. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it will eventually harden. I usually use Flex Coat but wanted to try the Pro flex because of the longer pot life. I’m new to rod building still trying to figure out finishing with epoxy.
