Thanks for sharing Eddy I am just like you still looking and experimenting more $$$ go for research & development than anything else.

Ed, have you tried FlexCoat rod building epoxy? Would think that stuff would do well since rods tend to be out in elements every trip day or night.

I tried this on Eddy's advice on two plugs last year (a small banana and a skin plug). It seemed to hold up pretty well. Rubbery but tough and good adhesion to the createx. Plan to give it a better test next year.

Last time I built a rod I was using Dale Clemmens rod epoxy ... really slow cure .. spun the rod for hrs. but that was a million yrs. ago .. Was fairly expensive if I remember right . If your just building for your bag ,who cares about cost ?. I'm trying other stuff too ..Just bought some Crystal Sheen ,, Says "interrior use only",Wish it said that online , I think its the same as etex ,, ..

If people want I'll bring a gallon to "Plugfest " .. Bring a naked plug ready to dip and hang ,, something you'll throw alot .. We'll do a group test .. I think if you come in the door and dip ,You'll be dry when its time to go ..
