I am using CRB 2 part finish and haven't had any trouble until now.....my last two rods. I'm sure it is not the finish but something ive done to the rod. On almost every guide, the finish wants to run from the blank itself and doesn't want to stick. Also am having trouble with it wanting to egg shell on the thread. what in the world did I do to these two rods that I haven't done before? Re: 2 part finish

You've managed to get something on there that is repelling the finish. Has anything been sprayed in or near your rod room recently? Cleaners, cologne, air fresheners, etc.?

I have no clue. Is there something I can do about it? I tried using denatured alcohol to wipe the rod down before the next coat but that didnt work ......Any suggestions? Re: 2 part finish

Wash the rod with soap and warm water followed by a cool water rise. This should do it, but remember that a fresh epoxy application on top may not cover the faults of the previous application.
There is also the chance that something got into your epoxy mix. Did you change mixing cups or stir sticks to something different than what you used previously? ........... Re: 2 part finish

No, i'm very careful with my mixing cups and nothing has changed there.... Something got on the rods I guess. I was making two tuna rods identical and they are my problem. In between I did a down rigger rod with no issues. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
