That's cheap! What is the number of graphite fibers??

You can put another coat any time you want. Just have to scoff in order to get it to bond other wise it just lays on top and will probably peal

I use the jel pens. I dry with a hair drier then put clear coat on. Have not used permagloss. Sounds like the permagloss is to hot??

If I want colored cork rings - I make my own any color
Forum: rodboard

Good point. I find that some customers know st croix but like a moderate action rod. This change will cause more people to go to say Rainshadow. That will make Bill happy LOL
Forum: rodboard

The only thing is with the new technology will come higher prices?? A lot of these companies give this stuff a new name like the matrix and then raise there prises
Forum: rodboard

Put the rings on a lath, even a drill with a threaded rod and slice them

Forum: rodboard

What about an 8-9 WT fly rod. The blank does not know what it is being used for
Forum: rodboard

If you are talking about Classic Rod Coat. I have used it and found it did take about 5-6 hours to set up? Way to long for me. It is nice! Clear, and levels very good.

Your becoming a flamming fool LOL What next wine glasses Any pringles around?

I use Glass Coat. I thin it with lacquer thinner. No bubbles. Good set time. When I use a hair drier, it is on low, and the area where the rod is gets a spray of water from and old spray bottle to make sure there is no dust. It should be clean in the first place. One coat on each guide. Wate. Then another while turning slow. I also level the rod with a small level

Got mine here in Jersey a couple of days ago Early! Been making that tool for a while out of old blank sections

That is another way he relaxes. Hope he gets a big one
Forum: rodboard

The thread will be used as a shim to center the tip section of the handle. But use the rod bond to glue it onto the blank
Forum: rodboard

Maybe some "d" size thread? If it will be thick enough?
Forum: rodboard

I also like the Plasti Kote colors because of the nice metallic in the auto colors. They glow in the sunlight. Got a metallic black. I just striped a 7' 2 Piece UL I made and am going to coat it with. Should look real nice
Forum: rodboard

You could thin out epoxy and coat but the permagloss is a lot harder and will stand up better. And is thin
Forum: rodboard

I paint them all the time. They stand up well. I scoff with a fine pad, wipe the dust off then spray ( just to cover ) one or two dust coats of Plasti Kote car color on. Let dry, then coat with permagloss. I also mask off the crome or whatever and paint the nut so it will match the seat. I sand the threads so the nut does not fit real tight when painted and cleared Hope this helps
Forum: rodboard

He did get a little excited? If it was that important to him to be here he could have just changed his call name, maybe just drop it. I am sure Tom will streighten it out
Forum: rodboard

Maybe him and Fred ( the other putter ) will have go into a room and find out who will be Putter? LOL
Forum: rodboard

Two ways come to mind Sand with 600 wet dry paper till the chip is smooth. Then coat with permagloss. You could also try to put a drop or two in the chip of permagloss. Fill the chip.Let dry overnight. Sand with 600 and coat all of it with permagloss
Forum: rodboard
