Rod repair (not one of mine) job on a loose reel seat. SURPRISE, masking tape arbors. Ended up having to cut the seat off because of the paste like consistency of the masking tape underneath.

Masking tape and water do not mix.

I recently repaired a fly rod with a masking tape arbor that was a similar mess.
If water gets under the reel seat I suspect this is common but I have repaired several factory rods that had masking tape arbors. Some were still sound.

I believe masking tape arbors still work but the key is to waterproof them. I tore down a rod I built over 25 yrs. ago and it was stil solid. I use flexcoat arbors now but I still seal them and the reel seat to keep the water out.

That is why if I use tape, I use 1/4" One on each end and one in the middle of the blank. This way the rod bond glues to the blank
