On the fuzzies
Something that we rod builders have to watch for is contaminates in the thread or on the blanks. 2 things that are a big hazard are silicone and any type of lubricants such as fishing reel lubes, WD40 , Clear jell lubes. Some of these hide themselves in the mixing containers thus contaminateing the epoxy causeing it to not cure- leave dimples- bubbles- and attract water causing any number of weird types of problems. Epoxy is great but trust me Mr. Murphy just loves to pop his head up and sometimes for me that means redoing a whole rod to include a really high end fancy but wrap. I probably just gave you a bunch more worries but I figure it's better to know these things than not. Tight lines The Striper Maine-iac
