In relation to my post down below does Purmagloss handle like a normal polyurathane,

1) typically how many coats are needed on average flyrod wraps with size A thread

2) what prep is needed between coats, scotch brite ,sanding ?

3)whats the drying time between coats in order to do next coat?

With the Varithane 900 floor finish that I use I must sand with 800 or 1000 grit paper between coats (dries in about 3 hours for sake of working on next coat). I found on the 6wt rod I just built ,6 coats was the ticket.

Can't thank you all enough! just looking to shorten the work load and accumulate less mistakes though many are self induced and I know I have to establish better methods! but some products are just easier than to deal with than others.

John,

There is a window within which you do not need to sand or roughen the finish before applying another coat. I would think this is spelled out on the directions listed on the bottle. At any rate, I'd say that as long as you recoat within a day or so you'd probably be okay.

I do recally the instructions saying that recoating may be done after 1-hour of each previous application. This would, of course, depend upon whether or not the previous application was sufficiently dry. Unless you are in a very dry area (moisture is the kicker to getting this stuff to dry) I would think a between application time of 1 to 2 hours would be sufficient.

Expect to use 3 to 5 applications on most freshwater rods, a few more on larger saltwater rods with heavier thread.

I e-mailed Ralph and he sent me detailed instructions on how to use perma-gloss. His directions were better than those sent with the stuff. The key is a good flood coat for the first coat. I don't use anything but perma gloss on light rods. The stuff is indistructable no cracking at the guide feet ever!

email adress I whould like to try premagloss on this next project which is an 8'9" 4wt.

Many thanks "John"

John the easiest way is simply look for any post made by the person you wish to contact and click on their name in the top of the post,one of the advantages of this board is simply that you can contact people directly via e mail.
