"We see a lot of older fly rods come through our shop and I always recommend the U40 Perma Gloss finish on those rods. It really brings them back to life."
"We’ve been using the Dura Gloss L S Supreme with consistent results for many many years. It’s a crystal clear coat that lasts indefinitely."
"U40 Rod Bond is superior to liquid epoxies for rod handle assembly. It stays where you put it, eliminating the need to turn the handle until it sets up."

"I first used U40 products in the 1980’s to build a 5 wt fly rod. I am still using the rod and continue to use and sell U40 products in my shop. U40 Products are the very best for Rod Building, Repairing and Refinishing. I often challenge the performance of U40 products and have not been disappointed."
"I use U40 products when teaching Rod Building and Rod Repair because I know they do the best job. I find the new product “Quik Bond” to be a very good for assembling fly reel seats, repairing cork and for repairing a broken rod blank. “Perma Gloss is an excellent product to use for fishing camp Rod Guide repair."

"There's nothing better than U-40 Rod Bond as an adhesive for reel seats and cork grips. Its formula allows you to easily slide on cork for a tight fit and it gives you plenty of stress-free work time to get everything aligned perfectly. Once cured, the flexibility of U-40 Rod Bond is what makes it stand out compared to other adhesives. There's no need to worry about the bond becoming brittle and you can expect U-40 Rod Bond to last the life of your fly rod.
U-40 Dura Gloss L S Supreme is the only finishing epoxy we recommend to our rod building customers that need something for a bamboo or glass blank. It is easy to work with and cures clearer than any epoxy out there for a beautiful transparent finish."

"I’ve been building rods for over 30 years and LS Supreme has the longest ‘pot life’ in the business, which means more time to properly apply finish to your rod. Since I’m always in a hurry to fish a new build, I like the way LS Supreme is truly a ‘one coat’ finish!"
"About 10 years ago, Terry, our in-house Master Builder, turned me on to Rod Bond, and it’s the only epoxy adhesive I now use. It’s lighter than standard 2-part liquid epoxies, doesn’t drip and forgiving on the mixing. I particularly like the way it fills in the gaps which sometimes occur under cork grips from uneven reaming and also the gaps between arbors/seats/blanks."

"As a professional rod builder for over three decades, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different products related to the craft. Without a doubt, U40 Rod Bond is the most user friendly, reliable, high quality epoxy that I have ever used. I have assembled literally thousands of reel seats with Rod Bond over the years and to date, not a single failure. Fantastic product!"
