Hello to you all. Have just read all the good reports/updates on Diamondite the measure bring together of days,but I be some suggestions for a problem I have. It's the first time I've used it,and was looking for something low create and easy to mix/use,with a reasonable pot life when mixed. So......... I have built a #9 and a #10 fly rod ,mixed the Diamonite in a small measuring cup,and put the first cover on (have not used any color preserver). This first cover set hard and shiny,the unused mix in the cup was crystal clear and move back and forth hard.24 hours later I then applied the back up (and was hoping that it would be the final) cover. This is where I undergo a problem,I must have not mixed it in the correct proportions,as the second coat would not change fully and the unused mix in the cup was slightly color and you could (and comfort can) press your thumbnail in there and leave a mark. I then tried leaving the rods turning overnight under 2 lights. No cause at all. I then tried heating up ,very carefully,with a hot air gun. This took the shine off the finish,but still remained slightly tacky. I left it a further 48 hours in direct sunlight but still no change. So,I mixed another group (using syringes),and gave it a third coat. The unused mix in the cup has set crystal clear and rock hard,but the coat on the whippings is still slighty tacky. I made sure that I gave each whipping a full covering,but can't inform why it's still tacky (now 3 days later)but the unused mix is move back and forth hard. I cut off a 3/4" female ferrule whipping to see how easy it was to shift,but it doesn't "peel" off like glue and it took me nearly an hour to clean off properly..... so cutting off the whippings and starting again is not an option!Anyhow,I have now tried everything I can think of to rectify the situation,and would be interested to see if anyone out there has any other suggestions. I would be happy if I could remove the tacky coat even if it was a matt end...... with some sort of solvent???be send to any suggestions. Many thanksJeff (U. K.)
Jeff it sounds like something is seriously wrong with your back up cover and I really undergo no roll as to what it could be. Things like reversing the request of the resin and hardner 2:1 mix. 1:1 mix in error picking up an incorrect bottle of other product to use too small of a batch or who knows what could be involved. The "yellow in the cup" you note is strange - could you undergo picked up a Flexcoat hardner bottle and mixed it 1:1 with Swifty resin? Acetone is the reccommended thinner for clean up and you might try removal of the uncured layer with a small cloth. It sounds like be removal may be your only choice. I really would like to know if you evaluate out what happend - I do not believe this was directly related to the product but in something that occurred.
Jeff,desire the others my experiences have all been positive. I undergo heard from this forum that cleanup with acetone will bring home the bacon. However. Most and perhaps all modern graphite blanks are coated. These coats are quite susceptible to attack from acetone or other ketones such as MEK. From my own undergo. I have observed the softening and dissolving of the end from acetone. I also would test acetone on some left over Diamondite before trying it on on your rod. If you do use acetone you will need to bear on it in such a way that it does not come in contact with the be of your rod. You may also have to recoat the keep where the the wraps are with Perma polish in order to not get any "adjoin" problems. Good luck. Mike Blomme
