5 Easy Steps to Building a Gaff (Adding the Gaff) - Part 1: Custom Gaff Building

[@mastrsk8]

No sir, thank you for your awesome videos and help. They have helped tremendously and given me a lot of satisfaction.

Thank you very much, and as always, I appreciate your support Scott. Thanks for watching.

After 2 or 3 epoxy coats to build up your cone, I've used finish to complete the cone. Sometimes, using a color dye to the epoxy prior to the "finish coat". I've also utilized several different types of winding checks that provide a nice, clean, custom finish.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Yes, all great ways to finish building the cone and giving it a nice clean look. Thank you for sharing, and for watch my video.

Try putting a straight edge on an angle from the shaft edge to the gaff to get a nice clean, uniform cone that's neat and easy to wrap after curing.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

That is the technique I use when using NCP thread, but when using regular nylon thread I’m not so worried about a straight conical look since I can hide any imperfections with the thread and that the finish will level nicely over it. Thank you for watching and commenting.

What brand of epoxy

[@reelbluecustomrods]

In this video it was FlexCoat.

In all honesty, I have no idea what took so long. You took forever to describe what you were going to do only to take twice as long to do something that would’ve taken 2 minutes tops and then you use a paper towel when you clearly should’ve used something with a straight edge like spreader to make the cone in one fell swoop. So in two minutes time you could have saved us 20 minutes of watching the first part of the video. I’m almost afraid of watching the second one. I’m going to watch the second video and I really hope there’s a Rolls-Royce at the other end.

Thank you for the feedback Robert, as I appreciate your honesty. Understand we may have different ways of doing things, but in the end, the outcome is the same. Thanks for watching and I look forward to any feedback you may have on my other videos.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Thanks for watching and commenting, and sorry you feel that way. Have you watched some of my latest videos to see if they have the same issues? Thanks again for the feedback.
