Discussed Flex Coat with it's creater. Had the same problem drying in the winter. His comment to me was it was only good in a controlled enviornment. (70 degrees). Told Him what I've used for years and he told me to stik with it. Man O' War Gloss Varnish, Old Timer told me about it about 18 years ago, works fine, and Dries fine. This old guy will pass it on. Just took a rod apart that I built 10 years ago and it was just as good as any I've done with apoxy. George Duncan, whidbey Island

Hey guys, I am in a bit of a jam. I have to deliver a custom rod on Sat and my Flex Coat is making my life difficult. My first coats went on okay but my secon are either tacky or really slow to cure. I know this is a chemical reaction vs. heat but does cold weather slow the process down? It has been chilly here in Eastern, WA this week.
I am going to try putting a very, very light coat on the tacky wraps tonight in hope that maybe my mixture was off or didn't get mixed all the way last time. If this fails, any ideas on what to do? I have read some people using products like Hard as Nails to force tacky Flex Coat to cure but have no experience in this. It is a special Christmas present for this family to their son so I need to get it done ASAP.
Thanks,
Mike
