Catch our 4 ways for better epoxy finish below:

1. Thread Wrapping

Thread wrapping is far from difficult, especially with CRB HWS-1 Hand Wrapper, however when it comes to wrapping guides, the correct distance up the guide foot is important once you start applying finish. For instance, if you wrap too far up the guide foot and onto the frame, epoxy can run up from the thread wrap to seal off the guide’s eye.

2. Mixing and Finishing with Two-Part Epoxy

When it comes to mixing epoxy, the wrong technique can interfere in the curing process and the epoxy’s resulting appearance. Some rod builders tend to whip the hardener and resin together, but this won’t speed up the process and rather, will add more bothersome bubbles in the mixture.

If the proper epoxy mixing technique is too tedious or time-consuming for you, consider upgrading your Rod Building System with the CRB Epoxy Mixer to mix the epoxy hands-free and increase the epoxy’s working time. The CRB Epoxy Mixing System is the ultimate tool for blending any two-part epoxy and conserving its usable life because it continuously churns and folds the epoxy into itself while you work.

3. Double-Checking Your Epoxy

Once you have applied epoxy to your thread wraps, the epoxy finish is now in its earliest and most important curing stages. Therefore, double-checking the finish is one of the most pivotal parts of the epoxy’s curing process.

4. Protecting Your Curing Epoxy

Once you’re done applying epoxy, not only does double-checking help get a high-quality finish, but also additional protection is available to keep your finishing rod safe and secure from outside influence. Whether it’s damaging temperatures or contaminants, the CRB Tent Kit is the greatest tool bundle available for protecting and maintaining your curing epoxy.
