Default Look no thread!

My new method of fixing rod rings with a very low build varnish, no fuzzies, no bubbles and only one application.

No tape!
perfectly safe with single leg rings....Steffan Jones has a prototype and was catching large pike last weekend without a glitch.

I take it they are super glued (of sorts) and wonder if the water would get into/under the adhesive, coupled with the strain of fighting fish would possibly pop them off over time?

David
I am being a little coy....I want to sell this in the USA and I dont want to get shafted like I did with Q.Suber!
A little more about the specification:

It is a one part product....so no mixing thus no bubbles and no cock ups resulting from mix variation
No brush required.
It is non toxic unlike two part epoxy.....the original application is in medical environment....and its resistant to silicone.
It is more flexible than epoxy
it has a pot life of around four hours depending on the environment
and the BEST thing......it cures from the outside in and the "skin" will be sag free in around 3 minutes.

The downside is the cost but I am working on that.
Mick

Hi Mick,

If you are trying to sell it to the Americans why debut it on here? If it's that good it will sell itself eventually. If like Q Suber, and it has drawbacks, it won't.

Far be it from me to tell you how to sell, but while giving it to anglers to trial is a good idea. Publicizing it before it is proven (our friends across the Atlantic can read this) is not. if you had stuck some in with the handles for Mike Barrio you sent, for me to try, you would have had an enthusiatic thumbs up if I had found the product to be A1.

Regards,

David.
