Files & Documents
I have used ProKote for several years and decided to try some Gen 4 Low Build to compare. Not sure if i like Gen 4 any better than ProKote. Here are some comparisons I found.
I mixed both finishes in a mixer for 5 min.
Poured into CRB Tin Dish.
Gen 4 may have less bubbles to start. but both cleared up instantly in the tin dish.
ProKote had the longest Pot Life. I found the reducing mix time on the Gen-4 to 3 1/2 or 4 Min worked a little better.
Here is picture of two Rods, the Red Wrap is one coat of ProKote, the White one is 3 coats of Gen 4.
Result is that I like them both.
I used prokote for a long time with pretty good results. I thought this was better.
Generation 4 Low Build Finish
Gen 4 is by far my favorite finish! It is good at being forgiving and easy to work with for building up ramps as well
I switched to the Gen 4 low build and have been using it on every build.It has less bubbles and is easier to work with.
