NSpannTx 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobP 941 Report post 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).
