RDL,
Very nice work. Like some others, I've heard both the praises and horrors of TM, and for those reasons I've stayed away from it. I use Flex Coat and Flex Coat Lite for my rods, and apply it in my basement which stays around 64 F. year round. I think this runs counter to all the "recommended" environmental conditions, but my rods turn out just fine.
Based on your results, I think I'll at least try one bottle of TM Lite to see how it performs in my "ice box" basement. LOL
Keep up the great work.
Joe
