Default Ported and Polished TB?
Does anyone know of any sponser besides Shaner who ports and polishes TB and uses the epoxy? I found a lot who do it without doing the epoxy, but there isnt too many who do use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

There is a reason people quit using epoxy. It kills flow!!!!

I believe Bauer uses epoxy, not sure if he is still a sponser. What's wrong with Shaner?

Why do you say that? How would it kill flow? If you look at the really nicely done TBs the holes where the epoxy goes is covered for ex. the Nick Williams TB.

There is nothing wrong with Shaner just a little high in price for me. I am looking to pay $100.

Actually I think the flow numbers were about equal. The epoxy just looks better but when I do them I usually use no epoxy. I'd do one for ya but I leaving for the desert in 4 days.
