Forum: rodboard

a lot of what said goes against the physics of epoxy as it produces heat while curing and will take longer to fully cure at warmer temps and longer with colder temps if they are above or below the optimum cure temp recommended from the MFG. my suggestion is to mix as the directions recommend and apply with your choice of tool I prefer a spatula while rotating and go back and check for any bubb

Forum: rodboard

yes you will not find anything close as the tech has changed immensely in relation to action and power of blanks the days of slow action are mostly gone and the parabolic action has been engineered out of a blanks so that there is better line control and increasing casting distance. I get the fact that these are boat rods and in that area they have done the same taken out the slow action/paraboli
