Dear all,

for a saltwater fly rod project I would like to hear your opinion which glue would be the best to connect different cork rings with each other, I am thinking about two component epoxy or whater proof white glue.

The connection between blank and grip for sure I will do lateron with epoxy.


RGDS,

I use Rod Bond.

There are quite a few adhesives that work and work well. I'm like Spencer and use Rod Bond, too. I put it on with a single edged razor blade (both sides) and try to scrape it all off with the blade when done. It works well as a spatula (haven't cut myself yet, knock on wood...).

I SECOND THE MOTION FOR TITEBOND III. AVAILABLE AT MOST HOME CENTERS.

A vote for Rod Bond applied as Putter does.

All,

Scott Mumford, a member of this forum, died yesterday, January 12. He died of complications due to cancer. He was 50. Scott is survived by his wife and two teenage children. He loved fishing and wrapping rods. He will be buried with his favorite rod

Thank you for your friendship.

God bless you Mrs.Mumford.

" When things like this happen it adjust our perspective on life." " What wass conciderd major yesterday doesn't amount to more than a footnote today." Praying for you.

Sorry to hear about your loss.I just lost a friend of mine.He was only 41.Cancer as well.

Larry,

Well said and very true.

Mrs. Mumford,

I know exactly what you are going through. I lost my wife of 20 years, in may of 2005, due to a brain stem bleed at the age of 41. Folks who've never been through this can't comprehend the hurt of losing someone you have spent the better part of your life with. It's hard to get over something like that. I still am far from over it, but God has sent me another wonderful woman who does understand and pledges to stand beside me and help me. We plan to wed on April 29th. I know Tom does not like posts that contain any religeous overtones, but I'm hoping he'll allow this one. God is my fortress and strength, through him all things are possible. I hope he rests his healing hand upon you to help you through. I'll be praying for you and your family, in this time of grief and hardship.

Mrs. Mumford and Family
My deepest sympathy - prayers be with you and good luck.
