Wheel Bore Prep

[Knotty Racing]

Anyone ever put 25 coats of Legends in before racing?

Advertised as being stone chip resistant at 25 coats.

If not 25, what is the most number of coats ever tried? (I've seen mention of 2 here)

I am guessing you might run into size issues with 25 coats, but I don't have any experience with the stuff so I don't know how thick it goes on.

Five coats were no better than two, but I'd be interested in the results of the 25 coats.

I am conflicted on the question because I have both ADD and OCD. I want to see what 25 coats will do, I dream about 25 coats, but I loose interest after no improvement over 2 or 3 coats. ( I know I have OCD , but maybe the rest of it is I'm lazy).

I've done extensive testing with legend. I spent an entire year trying different application methods with multiple coats and dry times. Although I've never made it to 25 coats. My testing and experience has lead me to one conclusion....less is more. That being said, if someone has the time and energy to do 25 coats, I would like to see the results.

Putting 25 coats in the wheel bore would decrease the bore diameter as mentioned, to what degree I have no idea. One thing you may see is a smoother bore, as it would minimize imperfections with the build up of the product, unless it builds upon an imperfection creating a bind with the axle. Smooth is good, a clearance too tight would diminish any gains over the smooth bore. Sounds like some experimenting is in order.
