Hey Mike, it is actually a 2 part finish that dries and hardens quicker than  the flex Coat.  It is a product called Diamondite Rod Finish and it is manufactured by Swifty Manufacturing out of California.
The good side:  2 parts resin, one part hardener; dries in a little over an hour; harder but  still somewhat pliable; can be completley cleaned up with alcohol prior to set up (thats important because of all the times I screw up with applying wrap finish), brush or applicator easily cleans up with alcohol.
The bad side, make sure you have it where you want it prior to set up, once it sets, you don't get it off; it is extrmely sensative to temperature and humidity in the mixed up state high humidity, and it takes a lot longer to set, cool temperatures, and it is really slow.

Before you buy any, look me up and I will give you enough of it to try to see if you like it, just bring a couple of bottles to put the stuff in.

Opps I guess all the boat talk must have scrambled my two brain cells. I was thinking you said one part. But any thing that dries that quick and lasts a good long time is something I definitely want to try.
