Affixing the tip top

When test casting a rod I use tape for the guides and the tip top.
The guides stay on fine but the tip top keeps coming off. How do you affix the tip top to the blank so it stays on long enough for few test casts? Thanks very much. John M. Re: Affixing the tip top

I just use the tip top adhesive and then you don't have to worry about. You're not planning on moving it so why not attach it right away and if you do need to move it you can apply a little heat and adjust. Chester May your line be tight and your beverages be cold! Re: Affixing the tip top

John,
Before doing any casting, I always permanently affix the tip. The tip will not change, no matter what you do with the guides, so you may as well put the tip on its final configuration. Re: Affixing the tip top

If you use the tip top melt adhesive, you can always remove it if you need to, by heating the tip under tension. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
