Thanks Michael, will be attempting this repair in the next few days. I have a fiberglass rod that i am using for an external sleeve. The ID of the glass rod seems to vary a lot so i am reaming it out with a dremmel and then finishing with fine sandpaper slowly to get a reasonably tight fit while still being able to get the rod in easily. Thanks for the advice all!

thanks so much. yes i have read the article a couple of times now. need to re-read and understand a bit better before i start cutting blanks LOL. I have a 0.010" difference in OD above and below the break over 4 inches. do you think i should be able to get away with cracking the sleeve technique? Not sure how this will go on a graphite sleeve. maybe i need to cut up my fiberglass rod.

Do you recommend using fiberglass sleeve or am i ok with an old graphite blank? how much do i need to worry about increased stress on areas above and below the sleeve? I assume a long bevel on the ends of the sleeve will help distribute the load over a wider area if i use a graphite blank.
thanks for your help.
Thanks

Hello all,
i had a minor incident and wanted to get your thoughts on best way to deal with this minor damage. I had a trunk lid close (not too hard) onto the rod, but it looks like more of a scratch than anything else. Still, i was thinking of using some UV resin or epoxy on the area to prevent any micro cracks from growing. It is on the second piece from the handle on a 4 piece rod.
