Woody I used some 2 part automotive clear coat for a small paint repair on a customeers vehicle. It comes in a spray can. Push the button on the bottom to inject the hardener , shake and spray. I had some left over and sprayed up a few plugs. It's a gloss finish and hard. Dries to touch in minutes. Couple coats and it's done. A few drawbacks, smells to high heaven, expensive $22.00 per can, and only a 24 hr pot life once injected. It does beat epoxy finish for quickness. The clear coat is available in bulk but like I said you need a external motor driven spray booth ventilator. I will show you at the meeting an Atom 40 I clear coated with rod builders epoxy. I had some left after installing a reel seat. It's hard as nail and smoooooth.

Might give it a shot
I hate dealing with epoxy and its issues.
Last winter I resealed a Hab's Jr. that had begun to split with Helmsman urethane. I dunked it and let it drip off. 2 Coats. Then let it cure until fishing season. That stuff is hard as hell, but a bit on the amber side.
Hook rash will always be an issue, but keeping the rocks and teeth at bay might just be easier with a 1 part coating that is easy to use.
Amazon has this Garco for $31 per quart. Not bad.

I have a few cans and jars of goop laying around, too. I did try waterbased poly-U once with decent results. Don't know why I didn't go back for further review. I suspect it's not the same as water activated tho. |

A number of two part epoxies do have a shelf life.
