I did notice that as soon as the epoxy hit the thread it picked up. The thread was perfect b/4 the epoxy went on. I guess it's the thread's characteristic. Pac0bay stay true did not do this. Anyway I need a light third coat to get a glass coat. More food for thought the next time someone wants color overwraps. I'll be doing metallics for colors if they insist. I see CTS uses alot of metallic overwrap on their rods. I seen them today @ RISAA and ask them about their results. Never any issues. Looks really nice.

You need to watch using metallics at least on guides. I have had it work just fine and I have had it move on me. what I have had happen is the thread over time would slip all coated in epoxy and make gaps. My guess is the metal would not allow the epoxy to penatrate and really bite into the thread. Like I said some rods no problem and others it would happen.
