If I have a stand-up rod with a size 10 tip but can't find an 10 with a large enough opening like I like can I take and build the tip up to fit a size 12??

In the past I have built up tip diameters with two narrow bands of thread with good results -. If doing it this way concerns you then use a sleeve made from a piece of scrap blank and bond it to the blank tip with paste epoxy, then grind down the new diameter if too large. Both ways have worked for me.
