Has anyone ever used or heard of powdered tip top glue? I got some in a starter kit I bought off a gentleman who taught a class in ND and for the life of me I can't remember what it is called. Re: Powdered tip top glue

St Croix used a powered tip top glue that contained Piccolastic hydrocarbon #D125. They use to supply a small quantity of this stuff to people needing to replace a tip top on a St Croix rod. As far as I know they did not sell it to the public.
Sportsmen’s Direct sells a product called HWI Tipsie Dust PyroCrystalline Epoxy. It’s not an epoxy, but rather a hot melt crystalline power, which appears very similar to the St Croix Piccolastic hydrocarbon #D125. Norm Re: Powdered tip top glue

Norman, Thank you so much. I have been racking my brain for years and when you said St. Croix it all clicked that was where he got it from. I will look into the HWI. I like it better than the stick glue it is a lot easier to work with I think. Re: Powdered tip top glue

Powder, assuming it works as well, would be a vast improvement over the sticks, IMO. Re: Powdered tip top glue

I take a a hot glue gun and a aluminum pan and make long strips of different size widths of the hot glue stick and cut them to size to fit into the tip top them heat tip and apply found this to work well. I also use a stick to heat and put glue on the blank. Re: Powdered tip top glue

I make a long strip down a butcher block and pop it off after a few seconds, chop ‘em up and keep them in a little zip lock bag. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
