Well I hurt my a back a couple of weeks ago & since I haven't been able to do a great deal outdoors thought I'd buildup a few new rods to keep myself occupied.
There's one drying on the rotisserie as I speak & it's a identical match to the one in pics below only difference is that one is a 6 kg & one below is a 4 kg stick both are to suit overhead reels. There's also another 5 or 5 new rods I'm playing around with only glued on the corks , hyperlons & winch's on them so far haven't worked out guide spacing's etc as yet will post pics later ron as they progress. -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

How do you do a very fine third coat? Put Less Resin On The 1st coat is a bit heavy main reason it needs to soak into the cotton Next coat alot thinner & it's moreso to fill any sink backs which have occured after the 1st coat With every coat whether it's 1 , 2 or 3 not a good idea to just apply & 4get I go back every say 20 minutes to check on it, you can stuff the job by leaving air bubbles in the resin So I brush through again & again if need be + by doing this you also get rid of any area's where to much resin has been applied. Not often but if I 4get or doing something else & the resin starts gettting tacky ?? I use a bit of Metho on the brush to make it glide along easier the metho dry's & dosen't effect the resin . -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Buggered if I know what brand the winch is Not a Fuji but it's one of the better quality Chi Nee ones & let me tell you some of those Chi Nee/Taiwon ones are pathetic Yes I generally do 2 coats on the light sticks sometimes a very fine 3rd coat thanks mate, didn't think it was a fuji, but then again it dose not look like a cheap crap either -------------------- bugger it's sold,got meself a house instead

No probs Christos !
Like I said earlier you can apply resin on a bit thick , let it sink in & settle into the cotton , then use your brush to thin it out. After each swipe of the brush just sqeeze out the excess out b4 brushing again -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
