Rob I have been using flex coat no problems. Maybe you should try one of the thin formulas.

The last rod I built, the wraps came out sticky and I coated them with lacquer, even after very carefully measuring everything and letting it dry in warm air. But as far as I am concerned BD Classic is BS. Any ideas on a decent rod epoxy that dries hard without much fuss?
