Thanks RDL and RS1.. Also glad to hear from TampaJim that I'm not the only one with the problem. I've heard so many rave reviews I'd decided it was just me..

I just had 4 guides to put on two rods. I used FlexCoat on one TM on the other. Warmed them both a little over the register and had the finishing room up to about 76.

There is so much I like about the TM - except the viscosity. Seems like once I get it on and can get it leveled it works great. But the FC is just so much easier to work with to that point.

Had a friend that had issues with mixing on FC. I use the syringes and never had - but I like the idea of the "forgiveness" of the TM. I notice no real smell problems with either one and am pleased with the clarity.

I'm getting low on FC and have a "bunch" of TM left so I may try some practice wraps with the denatured alcohol. I'd love to have something right between FC and TM in viscosity.

Anyway - sorry to pounce on your thread LastChance -

goodluckandgoodfishing..g
