I use epoxy, just my preferance. Check the FAQ tab on this board as well as the library
to get more complete info.
Email me and I would be glad to help.

Good Luck and have FUN !!

Rod Bond; not a liquid so there's no mess cleaning an epoxy leaking out from underneath. Very easy to use. Formulated just for what you're doing. Great stuff!!

Thanks!!

I get it from a non-sponsor of this site (they USED to sponsor...). I'm sure that Schneider's, Mudhole, Custom Tackle and etc. all have it, Raymond. Try it, you'll love it. On one of the last rods that I glued together, I used some epoxy just because it had been so long since I'd used it. I quickly rekindled my love for the Rod Bond. It's really some great stuff!! Anyone want to buy my leftover epoxy?

I don't know which of the two main things I've gleaned from Tom's site sticks out more to me, Rod Bond or learning how to marble??

Putter, use the left over epoxy to glue Peg's cast iron skillet to the table, then sit back and watch with a couple of PBRs or you could stick Conner in one spot (if he stays still long enough) when he starts crawling. I've been considering doing it to Dakota but will need some 5min I think.
