Thanks for that Ozrods!
Will check the rod when I get to school tomorrow.
Not quite certain what I did wrong. I used 4 mL of each, measured in small test tubes. If anything there would have been slightly more hardener than epoxy as the epoxy was more viscous. Stirred just like Doc Ski on the DVD. Applied thinnish coats.
The epoxy had become quite treacly by the time I finished and i was worried that I was not going to be able to complete the top grip bind.
I was a bit disgruntled as I had used so much that I probably had 3 or 4 ML left that I then used as filler on some jewie lures.
As a Senior Chemistry teacher I'm not too bad on the prac. skills and am very careful with measurement.
However, it's been a bit of an adventure building the rod so far and I'm looking forward to completing it. the blank feels really good!
