Epoxy

[Bawana]

I dont know if Mike carries them or not but I use the flexcoat set up.I have the (i believe 6 rpm) motor and use the Clemens Aluminum rod supports to support the other end.I bought three of these before they went out of business and also use them on a lathe for turning cork grips down made from individual rings as they have ball bearings in them and are good for sanding at high speed.I use a 1/4 horse motor for this so they spin kinda fast. Any good support should work fine at slow speeds.I prefer the slower motors as its easier to coat around the guide feet.IF he doesn*t have try CMS in New Bedford($62.00 )I know Rod Builders Workshop in Kingston MA. ususlly stocks them.I dont know about the amtack color preserver I have never used it.I usually only use the flexoat stuff but I do have some of the Gudbrod 811 and even some of thier older 111.I just didnt like the way it went on ( it has to be cut with alcohol to thin )but I know some people love it.I prefer to use the stuff from the same manufacturer color preserver and epoxy just so there wont be a mix and match problem. If you didnt use medical syrings and they were made for rod building coatings chances are no silicon was used when they were made because they know this is a definate problem.IF you happen to find out what caused it for sure I would like to know what it was so I can avoid it.
