Hi guys the problem was brought to my attention by a couple of customers who bass fish. They were fishing a tournament in the rain and every wrap clouded up. My first test I submerged the test wraps and thought that would be to harsh so I took a second blank did several wraps and also coated just the blank let it cure for about 4 days placed it on my table out side and let the sprinklers run in

I like the way threadmaster one goes on and looks but I had customers call and tell me fishing in the rain it clouds up so I did my own test put it over wraps and over just the blank let it cure for 4 days put it on a table in the back yard with sprinkler going and it did cloud up even got soft and peeled off easy
