LOL - I saw some of that last nite as well while I was using my Aftcote, too !! My cellar is about 70% which is still pretty humid IMHO.
It should be fine strength wise. Cosmetically it may not look perfecto and I am not sure if the flaws will ever come out.
We can compare notes in a month ! I build rods for function and strength - not into BLING at all. If it doesn't fall apart and it can with stand up as a walking staff then I am happy.
I heated it up as well, but no where near what I have seen some guys do. I try to go back after 30 mins or so and heat again if I see some bubbles. It takes me forever to do the epoxy finish on a rod. I need to watch mikecc do it and learn some tips!
