NSpannTx Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Which finish will hold up better, Devcon or Flex Coat? I am also a rod builder so I have plenty of both, I just want to coat with the best one. Thanks, Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrydabassman Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I use Devcon and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I use both but mostly Devcon because the Flexcoat takes longer to cure. Either does a good job but In my experience, the Devcon stays clear and unyellowed longer on the crank. Sometimes, I use a rod epoxy when I want to add minimal weight like re-clearcoating a suspending crankbait. But you can also thin Devcon with lacquer thinner to get a thin coating (remembering that epoxy thinned with a solvent can smear solvent based colors on the bait).

jaime Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 NSpann, so a search on TU for devcon, flex coat, clear coats and you'll find a slew of information on the advantages and disadvantages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
