We now stock Gen 4 Epoxy Resin Kits, thanks to genuine talks with the only UK importer. This is a very popular resin among Rod Builders the world over.
From the Developers;
"Over 2 years in development, Generation 4 guide wrap finish is quickly setting new standards in the rodbuilding community for "on the wrap" performance. Gen4 provides the discriminating craftsman with the most robust set of performance properties in the industry. Featuring the most chemically advanced air release protocol (XAR) on the market, and now with our new UV2 ultraviolet inhibitor, Gen 4 has become the "clear choice" for high performance guide wrap coatings. For more detailed information, click the User Guide & TDS download below.
Generation 4 is available in both high and low build viscosities and is packaged in 4oz. 8oz. 16oz, 32oz, gallon and 2 gallon kits."
We will only stock the low build in 4oz, 8oz, 16oz and 32oz kits, if you would like High Build or the Gallon/2 Gallon kits, then please ask or purchase the pre-order listed item and we will source this for you.
Generation 4 (Gen 4) Epoxy Resin Kit
Measure with syringes a minimum of 3cc of each component. Mix SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY for a minimum of 3 minutes. If any cloudiness or hint of blue dye remains, continue blending until mixture is water clear. Pour out on a flat surface to allow the XAR protocol to release any remaining bubbles. If you pour onto aluminium foil, the working time will increase.
Apply with brush or spatula until desired film thickness is achieved.
Rotate for a minimum of 3 hours, CONTINUALLY CHECKING for bubbles, as XAR will continue to push bubbles to the
surface even when the mixture begins to thicken. To ensure that no bubbles become trapped in the changing surface tension, you will need to check the rod every few minutes to monitor and eliminate any air that may not release on its own due to the thickening viscosity. XAR is only effective through a specific viscosity. As the mixture continues to crosslink, the thickening viscosity will be the only barrier that does not allow for the bubbles to continue to release.Mix Ratio: 1:1
Pot-life: 30 min at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Re-Coat Time: Minimum re-coat time is 4 hours at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Maximum re-coat time is 24 hours at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Sag free (rotation time): 3 hours at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Tack free time: 10 hours at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Fishable after 24 hours, but we recommend 48 hours to allow for full crosslinking
