Bruce, How did the repair take? It sounds to me like you had a reaction to contamination known as a fish eye. If you still notice a circle in the third coat you should let it completely dry, scuff the entire wrap and pay special attention to scuffing the depths of the fish eye, wipe with DNA and recoat. I was having this issue with Flex Coat lite, not on the first coat but on the second coat. I

I had a build compenents and pricing invoice on a spread sheet but I wanted numbered, duplicate invoices so I just bought a standard blank invoicing pad. I just describe the end product as they would in a catlogue i.e St Croix SCIII 9' spinning rod. Since I don't keep an inventory, at least from a business standpoint, of compenents so if I were ever audited I can pull the customer invoice and mat

It would cost me more for an accountant to prepare all the forms than I make on sales. Here's a couple numbers for you. Jack Brown 231-932-2057 or Freda George 636-255-1320.

I just mixed some flexcoat lite for the first time and as far as viscosity goes I didnt notice a big difference from the highbuild. I'm hoping I bennifit from the longer pot life because I'm a slow finisher....pun intended. I have diluted my high build with rubbing alcohol and it was quit thin and laid out beautiful and hardened fine but I was using a scrap blank. I don't want any trouble though
