removing reel seat question??

If I set a reel seat with 5 minute epoxy can I remove it with heat or does it still need to be cut off?

Hi Greg,
If you've used 5 minute epoxy then it should come loose without the need to cut it off. Probably the best way to get an even heat and no blank damage is to submerge it in boiling water if you can. If it has a long handle then a piece of capped pvc tube will do the job. May take more than one go in the water to get it loose but perservere and you'll get it.
