I have glued a reelseast with Rod Bond epoxy. I wish to make a little change to the rod. Will heat like boiling water or heatgun losen the the metal parts glued with Rod Boond? Re: Rod Bond and heat.

Maybe. Hot water is the safest bet. If you use a heat gun there is no doubt you can eventually get the RB to let go, but the blank may also let go.

If you search, you'll find a thread I started on my comparing methods to take an old reel seat off. I actually cut an old, busted rod down to about 12-15" just to make it easier to experiment with the different methods.
Boiling water - That failed miserably. Now, I'm sure different epoxies will have a different setting point and I have no idea what epoxy was used as, again, this was an old, broken factory rod. But, I left it over boiling water for well over an hour and it never broke loose. Heat - Now, you may or not want to give this a go but, since I cut the rod down, I was able to put it in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes. The grips and reel seat slid off easy with no *apparent* ill effects on the blank. Bottom line, *I* would do the direct heat method if it were mine, but I'd be really careful with the time I exposed the blank to the heat. Re: Rod Bond and heat.

If it is an all metal reel seat, I would use boiling ware, Boil for at least 15 minutes and may take a couple of tries. Has always worked for me! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
