I need to replace two guides on a pair of rods I have. I have the guides, I just cannot find Flex Coat (the epoxy for finishing the wraps and holding it all into place). Online it's terribly expensive and hard to ship to Canada.
Does anyone have FlexCoat here?
Could I even maybe use a very small amount of your personal stash and compensate with a few beers?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone have Flex Coat locally?

I've had good results using multiple coats of this for rod guide wraps,

Damn right I'm good in the sack...I can sleep for hours!

Thanks for the link. You don't find that it's too hard/brittle, and doesn't that stuff react (turn yellow/brown) in UV light?
I may try this but would rather have a flexible epoxy vs something hard and brittle.

Try SOFTEX which is used as a flexible head epoxy used in fly-tying.
I think Green Drake carries this.

Thanks - I've emailed them to see what they have and recommend.Walker wrote:Try SOFTEX which is used as a flexible head epoxy used in fly-tying.

Thanks for the replies everyone. A member was able to provide me with a small packet which is exactly what I needed!
