Hello It seems I remember someone talking about glue used to laminate plane props together. I would imagine that it would be stronger than the2 part epoxy ive been using. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Jim

Is the two-part epoxy you've been using somehow not strong enough for your rod building tasks? Not trying to be smart at your expense, but for rod building purposes. most 2-part epoxies are many, many times over stronger than the rod itself and if you properly prep your surfaces (water break free) you would never begin to even test any of your assemblies during any fishing situation.

Tom I have a reel seat situation where iam limited with the amount glue I can use, where the rear hood goes together with the wood insert there almost a press fit . I would feel better with the strongest glue possible . if they come loose Ill have more problems. Thanks Jim

A thin glue line is a strong glue line. Something like Rod Bond epoxy is your best bet in such a situation.

I have worried about the limited glueing area of the hood on a downlocking seat. But so far I have not had one come off. For one thing, the pressure is not straight back, but instead, the reel foot tends to tip the hood.
Playing around with wood for a number of years, I have used a epoxy called "G2" from the woodworking stores. Supposed to be good for a wood-metal bond and you can formulate it to be a little flexible, which is a good thing with wood attached to metal. The Brownells glass bedding epoxy is also good for this type of thing.

But overall I think Tom's advise is spot on. Keep the glue line thin, prepare the surfaces, and don't worry. If it is a "press fit" could you loosen it to a tight slip fit?
