Sounds like an application for a winding check vs a epoxy ramp

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Are you sure that the recommendation of 1/2 to 1 size larger was not referring to the tube…. than the ring…

None of the MN tips I’ve dealt with have been welded at the tang/end of the tube.

What size striper and what type of presentation? I have build some RCLB70's and feel the blank is too fast for the live-bait striper fishing we do inland with in-line planer boards - the fish feels the board too fast. The RCLB79's are a bit more moderate, but still a little fast for my preference for this style fishing. Now, if tossing lures, or freelining with rod in hand, they may be mor

Built one of the 8' MH for a customer for a big swimbait / wake bait blank. The 1" butt is from where they rear of the blank flares out for an intgerated butt grip..... From my build sheet notes, I used an Alps MVT size 16-15 seat (exposed blank with 15mm ID).

Kendal - Kevin Brotz, from GetBit, is the one who worked to develop that epoxy and after a lot of revisions has jut brought it to market - so the GetBit website is the website i guess :) I've had some of the iterations along the way and have used the latest/final on a bait net and now on a rod in process. My initial reactions are that it needs to be warmed up some to loosen the viscosity bef

It’s a great event and an important one for the industry. It was good to catch up with folks met in past years and appreciate all those that came my our booth and checked out our purchased our colored guides. And I managed to lighten my wallet a bit as well :)

Apply it as thin as you can. A couple coats. It creates a glossy finish when dried

Just note that if you are installing decorative EVA grips - those which you've cut inlays or such and glued up with contact cement, do NOT do this method - ream the grip out to fit the blank - else you are likely to bust a seam on the grip. Also - the "multi-color" foams that are available not do not have as much stretch in my experience as the single color or hyperlon..... so ream

I just buzz the ends off on the bandsaw with a 10-14 tpi blade, then I’d place a piece of 220 grit sand paper on a board, hold the seat perpendicular and sand it in circles a bit to smooth any roughness if needed a Xacto can clean up any straggling bits

Maderia is generally 4.1 threads/mm for square spacing - though it will depend a bit on your individual packing
Forum: rodboard

Could be a packing problem - but could also be you need to account for tapered offset and adjust your spacing as you gonthr length of the blank due to the taper of the blank Not sure what you mean about spacing for A per mm or 2mm. Your spacing between centers will depend on your blank diameters

I can't imagine the need to do any filing / prep to the Fuji KB/KT's...... at least not if we're talking about sizes 6 and under (and even then....)

Kevin and crew are top notch - with investment they made in real-time inventory a lot of the past issues are gone and order to ship times are down as well to usually within the next day. Good group of folks to do business with.

Be aware that the water based CP’s don’t tolerate freezing - which is a real possibility in transit at the moment. In fact HFF just output put out a video today saying they are halting shipment of CP until temps come back up to a safer level (they are of course in the frozen tundra of Michigan :). If you are down south and this cold wave passes it should be ok but just think about it and watch t
