Almost a Royal blunder

I just glued both ends on a fly seat
Looking at it I noticed the movable hood that holds the reel ( Was Backwards )

Took out the heat gun Thought about hot water Started to heat up the end to take it off

Got to stop doing 5 things at the same time

Looked --- O Gee all I got to do is take the locking rings off - slide it off -- and turn it around

Beating head against wall !!!!!

Helmet is a good option for frequent head bashing.
