Review by Chris Ward, Craftsman
Epoxy finish
general picture of rod blank turning with 7 samples of finish drying at the same time.
Colour preserver
Working the thread I treated each half of the thread as individual, the feint blank line denotes the centre between Left & Right. When applying colour preserver the second coat was applied 24hrs after the first coat.
Control Sample
This is the control sample of thread. Left is thread with no finish or colour preserver. Right is a section of the same thread with one coat of epoxy finish but NO colour preserver applied.
Rod-Dancer Chromaseal
Thread on the left one coat, thread on the right two coats Rod-Dancer Chromaseal, with one coat of epoxy finish.
Pro Road Sealer
Thread on the left one coat, thread on the right two coats of Pro Road Sealer, with one coat of epoxy finish.
Prokit Sealer
Thread to the left one coat, thread to the right two coats of
Prokit sealer, with one coat of epoxy finish.
