When using arbers, how thin will you reem them before you use thread, tape etc. Re: How thin do you go?

You can go paper thin, but at that point you would probably be better off with a wind or two of thread. Depends on how much effort you have to expend to get them that thin.

Thanks Tom.
The Wife is at 3cm and 50%, so who knows I may make it to the big show yet. Re: How thin do you go?

I've gone as thin as ~ 2 mm, but I had to make 2 tries to get it that thin. After a while, the arbor will collapse when being handled. Even though the arbor is that thin, the reelseat was firmly held and I haven't had any issues with it.
Now, on reflection I probably should have gone one or two wraps of fibreglass, or just did the rod bond + tape thing, but that's all in the past now :) -- Cheers -- James Re: How thin do you go?

Michael, Explain to her that you will be able to enjoy the son/daughter for the rest of your life, but the Show only lasts for a weekend and then it's just a fond memory!!
James, Glue the arbor into the seat before you ream and it will be much more solid and easier to ream. Mike (Southgate, MI) If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!! Re: How thin do you go?

"How THIN do you go? ...

Later Gators, ... -Cliff Hall+++ P.S. - IMO, for ~2mm, SKIP the ARBOR / BUSHING and TRY thread or twine or a thick gap-filling epoxy. Or no thread: PC-7 (paste epoxy) is still good for something, IMO. Or ROD-BOND, with or without thread. Just don't let the reel seat shift off-center while the epoxy jelly is curing, ... add a little thread if needed. ... -CMH+++ Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/10/2006 05:25PM by Cliff Hall.
