Dave. How do you rate u40 in comparism to flexcoat? I'm looking for another option than flexcoat. Personally Afcote was great. my only concern was the softer hardness when fishing around rocks. Deeper scratches in finish than say flexcoat.

the standard u40 is thin, but not as thin as aftcoat. the high build u40 is a good heavy thread finish. u40 products have better UV protection than flex coat does. flex coat was nice, but many better epoxies available now. flex coat yellows, which i cant stand, nor would a customer after a couple seasons.
