Stupid question, but how are the guides falling off with just bad epoxy? Did the thread wraps fail, or some force exerted on the guides before you knew the epoxy was bad? Sorry man, I know that can be a mess.

I have experienced both good and bad. I placed an order on the 1st of June for two blanks and it’s been complete radio silence, no emails, no return call on an inquiry, nada. Then I placed an order on the 15th and I got both items in hand. The blank I have in hand is really spectacular so I guess I’ll take the good with the bad.

I'm new to this forum (first post here in fact), and I'd like to share what I've done recently to combat this. To start I first put on a base layer to the decal/label area with a brush and do the first coat on my guides, let dry for 24 hours. Then (be sure you have foil or something underneath the application area you do not care about for this process): 1. I have the rod on a 9 rpm dryer 2.
