    Honestly, I have no experience with coating fiberglass. Don't know how it would adhere with a porous fiber medium. Also would have to go with an air cure, I don't know of anyone who could fit a 10' rod in their oven.

    Really nice work, I can't say I'm a fan of the color scheme though.

    I like ranger green because army.
    I’m an engineer. To save us both time, let’s just assume I’m not wrong.

    I talk to myself because, at times, I require advice from an expert.

    We are all just one PBR away from being white trash and in trouble.

    I did some light research on "ranger colors" awhile back and found that historically they were pretty speckled. I finally settled on a light brown as probably being by far the most representative color of the colonial and Revolutionary War era rangers. But all I was trying to do was pick a shade I thought would trim out a line drawing of a Revolutionary War battle scene without taking one's eye away from the scene to the frame. Interestingly, a committee got together to frame a much fancier presentation piece related to the same battle at about the same time I was making my selection, and as far as I could tell from a photographic image of the finished piece later on, they came up with the identical color right down to or very near the specific shade. I was basically going for the natural color of deerskin and/or butternut, because "butternut" (or at least acorn) was a readily available natural dye... and I guess that committee came to pretty much the same conclusion. There's no such thing as a specific shade that is butternut, and deerskin isn't an exact color either, so I went for what I figured a nut dye would be like with considerable sun-fading.

    Only you could make a whole paragraph out of that nonsense and then carry me all the way to the end of it.

    I may be found dead in a ditch, but by God, they will find me and my rights in a PILE of brass.

    Its because of the words nut dye.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
