Filling Ferrules??

Hi All,
I am starting to build a 4 piece 9' 9wt T&T Horizon blank and was wondering how I am supose to fill in the top of each section of blank? Can I used rod bond, epoxy, something else? Is this even nessesary? Does it need to be sealed?

Thanks, Tom

It is important; the male end of the ferrule can 'crush' and Rod Bond would be my choice.

As with Putter, I also use Rod Bond, and use a flat stick to "stuff" around one quarter to one third of an inch into the male ferrule.

Can the Rod Bond be colored to match the blank? Thanks, J.M. Hart

I see Dan Grulke just did this with some black; his post is above this one several spots.
