Depending on the number of flys your considering doing Flex-coat epoxy rod finish is very easy to work with as are most rod finish epoxys. You will how ever need a low RPM motor and cureing wheel. For example I do many hunders of epoxy flys each year and have learned a lot of simple tricks to make working with it much easier. work with epoxy is more about technique than tools. If you have or have access to a drying motor let me know and perhaps I can help.
