Forum: rodboard

what is the best method to apply appoxy on wraps, spatula or a brush or does it matter? thanks
Forum: rodboard

thanks for the help, I had about 12 inches of rod left coming out of the fore grip so I took another 6'6" blank and cut enough off the butt end and slid it over the 12 inch stub with epoxy glue and it seems to look and feel the same. I was concerned that it may not cast the same. The rod is now 7' . I just hopes it does ok.
Forum: rodboard

Has anyone ever fixed a broken rod by inserting a blank over the broken stub coming out of the fore grip, If so how much of the broken stub be left to slide the blank over?
