ThanksTom. Wish I would have know that before I ordered my grip. And how do I get to the FAQ page?

Only reason to use the masking tape is because of the taper of the rod. At the butt end the diameter is 19 mm. And 6" up to where the top of the grip would end is 18.3mm.

Great! But using masking tape should not be a problem to build upnthe taper end under the Eva foam grip using Devcon Epoxy?

First off...thanks to everyone who has answered! If you can't guess.....newbie here. I was given some rod building equipment, but to scared to put the money and time into it to come out with a ball of mess. So I thought I would try this first. So any 2 part epoxy should do the job?

Hey Phil......If I use that (devcon) would building up with masking tape be ok? The rod tapers from 19mm to 18.3mm where the grip would end. And should I scuff the rod for better adhesion?

I have watched some U-tube videos where they build up the rod with masking tape to fit the I.D. of the grip. If I use rod bond. Will building up the rod with masking tape be a good idea? <')))><

I want to put a EVA grip on my inexpensive carbon fiber telescopic fishing rod to use as a tenkara style fly rod. The fishing rod handle is finished. Was wondering ifbI could glue the grip on with the "Loctite plastic epoxy" I have? Wasn't sure if this would be the right glue or epoxy for this? <')))><
