RFS build

Pat,
I have finally started on the rods and here's the Marine themed baitcaster. I ran out of mixing cups or the first coat would have been on last night.

Very nice! Wish my thread work looked half as nice.

Thanks, I need to clean it up and epoxy. I think I'll leave the white out of the marble and just keep it red/gold/black. I'm going in..........lol

[Wild Bill]

What epoxy do you use for the marbling? I'm still using the Prokote high build, medium cure that came with my rod building starter kit. Pleased with the way it goes on/looks on the guides, but for marbling it came out lumpy.

I prefer Diamond II from Bullards International.

The gold flake is hard to see:

That's purdy.
