After you put the permagloss in the fridge, and when you want to use it again, do you need to warm it up, or use as is? And another? when you put pigment with teh permagloss, should I just make one batch like a 1oz bottle and keep in the fridge untill next coat? or should I mix just enough for one coat, then remix for the next batch?

after the first wipe with permaglass. how do you store the permagloss for the next coat? and so mix the pigment in the bottle? I have 1oz bottles.

When tinting the permagloss with pigment, the pigment like settles on the bottom, you said to pour it out quickly and the color will be on top , now when coating a rod blank, with a cheese cloth, do you put the tinted permagloss on the cheese cloth or on the rod first, or how about like a nayural hair brush will that work also? Thank You!

I just bought a MHX blank, crankbait blend 7'6", it said it weighed 1.9oz, my StCroix weighed in at 3.6oz and its a 7 footer, I felt the weight of both and it seems like teh StCroix is lighter, now how can that be if the MHX say's it weighs only 1.9oz! but I bought the MHX for my first try at custom rod building, and is still trying to find out how to paint and finish the rod.
