It is all I have used. That said, it is easy to use with a good working time for beginners like me.
Great and easy to use.
No issues with hardness, leveling or bubbles and I like how it's not too thick but not too thin. I can apply a single, even coat without a need for a 2nd or 3rd. Comes out at the perfect thickness once cured. I apply at a higher speed than drying. Using the wrapping motor instead makes for a perfect coat
Awesome product that works and looks great!
ProKote thread finish is easy to work with and, when properly mixed, dries to a solid, smooth finish. It leaves a very nice-looking shine on the fishing rods I build.
The CRB Glass Alcohol Burner is one of those simple rod-building tools that quickly becomes a permanent part of your workbench. Whether you’re removing bubbles from epoxy, leveling thread finish, or heating tip tops during repairs, this burner does exactly what it’s supposed to do — and it does it very well.
I’ve always used ProKote. Like any finish, you learn how to apply it for consistent results every time.
I have tried many different brands of thread finish, Prokote takes the cake! Easy to mix, apply and manage, very few bubbles if any! Photo is from a rod I built 10 years ago for my wife - She wanted Zebra, So she got Zebra!
Works extremely well with or without color preserver!!
Needed to restock, the 3ml syringes are a bonus.
Works great, easy to work with.
I ordered colored fast but I got the wrong size as I probably was not paying attention so I used the pro wrap that I had which is a size d which is what I need because I'm blind and one eye and can't see all the other. I put Pro coat on it and it turned the purple to Black as far as using it to Marble at marbles really nice I don't know if I can give an accurate review I know I could not use the size a thread that I had originally ordered because it's just too small for me to see. I just got finished doing the Gods and they're drying right now but I'm not sure how to include a video
Very consistent coverage and works its way into thread correctly.
This is the finish I learned on, and frankly not sure I want to try any others.
Super clear. the bubbles scared me but they came out so whatever. Makes the thread underneath pop.
The prokote finish worked well .The finish self levels on the rod wrapper and Coates well . I have been using it for a few years now and have had good success.
Easy to mix and to apply to get a nice finish
Easy to mix by hand and dries with no bubbles when using a heat gun!
I frequently use prokote when finishing rods. The set up time is not too fast and not too long. Medium build that allows a nice thin first coat to go on smooth and easily able to apply a smooth second coat to the rod.
Works amazing never have any negative problems and goes along way.
I've been building rods for sale and lately as just a hobby for nearly 50 years. For the last several years every rod I have made has had some type of image woven on it with a Wonder Weaver. Succsessful weaving takes a great deal of planning, preparation and patience. Having used many different thread finishes over the years; some okay and some not so much so, I now depend exclusively on ProKote Thread Finish. Properly measured and mixed it produces a self leveling, bubble free and durable finish that you can depend upon every time.
nice smooth finish, works very well.
