Hi  I found your web site through a search engine. I am very big pole fisherman the joint on the pole our worn so I get a lot of carbon deposit on my hands during fishing. I need your help I was wondering what products you do that I can purchase to seal them back up. Urgent reply needed as I have two poles doing the same understanding I can get new parts for them as they our both over 6 years old. I don’t want to buy a new pole until I haveat least tried to seal then. I have tried the products that fishing companysell but these was off during use. Hoping you deal with carbon a lot you willhave products to seal and I can get a smooth finish on the to last a lotlonger.

 

 

If you can help send me a list of items so I can order as soon as possible. Cheers I hope you can help me.

 

 

Could a product like this seal the carbon for me EL2 Epoxy Laminating Resin

Hi Mark,

I would suggest sealing the surface of your worn poles with our Epoxy Coating Resin. EL2 wouldn't really be the best of our resins for this job but our Epoxy Coating Resin would. You'll need to ensure the surface of the poles in the area that you want to seal is completely de-greased. Any traces of grease or dirt from your hands or general use will make the resin coating more likely to come off. Also, you'll need to ensure that the poles are completely dry before you apply the coating resin too.

For degreasing, you could use a strong detergent, washed thoroughly off the poles before throoughly drying them or you could use a solvent like Acetone. Once you've done this paint a single, thin layer of the coating resin all over the area of the pole you want to seal. Allow this to cure for a few hours before repeating the application using a new batch of resin. A couple of layers of the coating resin should be enough. To make it more smooth afterwards you might want to give the resin a flat and polish using some abrasive paper and polishing compound but this is entirely optional.

I hope this helps and look forward to supplying you.

All the best, Matt
