AFTCOTE, the world's finest rod wrap finish, is a special two-part urethane-modified, custom mixed epoxy with superior qualities developed for specific use on fishing rods. Non-yellowing and UV-resistant, AFTCOTE is extremely durable yet flexible to resist cracking and checking. It won't absorb water, so it doesn't turn milky and its urethane base has superior working qualities — water white clarity, self-leveling, longer working time and easy bubble release. AFTCOTE cures with a super high-gloss sheen, and it has a longer shelf life than most rod finishes.
