Sounds like you’re using the epoxy glue instead of the epoxy rod finish. Take a close look at your bottles. What does the label say ?

The abrasive grit is the worse thing to use. The grit does fall off while reaming and can easily get imbedded in your grip. When you test fit you’re very likely to scratch your blank. In my early days of rodbuilding those type of reamers were the norm and from personal experience the will scratch your blank.

Every year at a show I exhibited at in Houston Ellis would call me to make sure I was going to be there and He’d always stop by my booth to pick up supplies to build one or two rods and shoot the breeze.

You have to put a couple of coats of finish over it first. But personally, I think it detracts away from the dragonscale.
