Its a water based acrylic urethane,,, I'm not saying its bullet proof .. Or for commercial builders,, holds up better than etex ,, Nothings prettier than etex though ..Its a thin coating compared to etex ,, sticks good ,, dosen't peel like etex .. By the end of the season throwing a plug 10,000 times,, its dull,, but still there .. user friendly health wise .. no doesn't stop hook swing .. I'm still looking .. just sharing .

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 ..
