I fell victim to Mud Hole and Diamondite too

http://www.stripersonline.com/surfta...d.php?t=613377

Check out the part where a Mud Hole employee states that Diamondite is not a rod finish, even though they sell it as a rod finish.

Mudhole gave me no answers but told me they forwarded my issue to Swifty Mfg.. And they blew me off.

*Stuff was properly mixed, applied, cured, etc.. I am A N A L about things that could destroy all the labor I put into my rod.

They'll both reap what they sew.

Before first use and after several uses.

This rod is like one of those girl's with the killer body and attitude, but a face that needs a bag. Super enjoyable in the dark!!
