System 3 Clear Coat Issue

Had to chuckle Eric. i put rod finish on that same way yrs ago. I'm curious why did you stop usin the acid brushes to put on your etex?Was it due to the hairs coming out? If so I fixed that prob by taking some super glue and placing a drop or 2 at where the brush an the metal meet.then let them set a couple days. no more loose hairs or damn few compared to when not using the super glue.

Hi Ron,

I used the finger trick sometimes when Flex-Coating long wraps, but that hasn't been necesary since switching to Thread Master.

Yes about the acid brushes; and a good trick with the super glue. More of a problem than the long hairs are the little black hair-flakes that get in the finish.

The finger-brush is working pretty good for me. The epoxy seems to go on quicker, though with more bubbles. After passing a butane torch over the bubbles to pop, I'm good to go. The finish has become consistently good.
