It has been almost 3 weeks since the finish went on and it is still slightly tacky to the touch. I can't tell it has gotten any less tacky in the past week. I think the problem was some bad hardener. It was very thick and dark (almost brown) and very difficult to dispense from the syringe. I should have discarded the mixture.
For the record it was ProKote medium build in the 12ml syringe

Well I have my first rod where the epoxy finish did not fully cure. I have searched the archives for solutions to the problem. There seems to be two thoughts.
1. Strip everything off and start over.
2. Put a thin coat of properly mixed epoxy over the existing epoxy.
The second option (recoat) sounds more appealing, but I have a question. Do you just end up with a hard shell over a soft

3. Tiger Wrap
I want to try my hand at a Tiger Wrap. I am using a black rod and wrapping the guides with black thread with gold trim. I am not sure what color combinations will compliment this. The plan is for the Tiger wrap to be in front of the fore grip. Any ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your tips and info. I think I know enough now to be dangerous.

5. Spiral Wrap
Going to try my hand at a spiral wrap on an 8 ft medium (15-30#'s) salt water rod. Looking from the butt end, does the spiral go clockwise or counter clockwise? None of the literature I have read says which way to go.
What is the group consensus on the number of guides to go from 0 to 180, not counting the butt guide or the first guide in the 180 position?

My sister, the scrapbook guru, said 1/2, 3/4 & 1" punches are available from Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

Terry, Please unhide your email, or email me. I have some questions about the MRF System.
Thanks

Just got back from the 2014 ICRBE and it was a great experience for a first timer.
One of the vendors was showing an adjustabe teleoscoping butt. It looked like a great idea for kayak fishermen. Short butt for handling and casting, and longer, if needed, to fight a fish. What are the thoughts of this group on this application?
