All you carbon fiber grip builders- I am starting to collect some short drop pieces of the foam cores - do you guys/girls put them together for reuse? If so, do you use thread epoxy to glue them together? Jon Hood Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/02/2019 02:06PM by Jon Hood. Re: Foam cores drop pieces

Given that they are so inexpensive to make, I have never bothers trying to fit the together to make another core. I keep some short pieces to use as reel arbors, that's about it. But you could easily mount them on a mandrel, glue them with 2-part epoxy and be fine, if you wanted to spend the time doing it. Use regular bonding epoxy, not finish epoxy, although you might well get away with that since the core it glued to the grip along its entire length.

I have done it before with longer pieces. I only want one glue joint as the joint doesn’t turn like the rest of the foam Re: Foam cores drop pieces

Depending on how long they are, say 2 1/4" at minimum, you can make tapered fore grips and mount them backwards for a rear grip on a split grip spinning rod. Considering that you hold the reel seat on a spinning rod, you don't really need a long grip at the reel seat. I have built 4 spinning rods with split rear grips and have used a backwards mounted fore grip for the rear grip on all of them. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
