I have the 270 and have noticed the same thing. At first I thought maybe I touched the back side some how, but since I've been using transfer tape, it has eliminated that possibility.

I think I can! I think I can! I hope I can!!

I have used it once so far. will be doing #2 & #3 today. The first one worked quite well....it stayed gripped to the mandrel while turning, then removed relatively easily with a little bit of persuasion. I am using titebond 3 . I was worried the wax might allow it to break free from the mandrel easily.
Forum: rodboard

Is there any reason basic candle wax cannot be used as a release agent on a mandrel to get a completed grip off of it? Thanks
Forum: rodboard

Thanks for the info Tom. Thanks to everyone who helped out. I have decided to start over...heck I can fix the little things I didn't like about my first handle.
Forum: rodboard

Tom what is this boring technique you speak of?
Forum: rodboard

So if I do the boil method to loosen a grip and reel seat from a blank I have epoxied them to,will the grip delaminate in the boiling water? I used titebond 3 to glue them up.

I was wondering if anybody out there has bought the pearlabel 270 system? I have talked to the company and he says he has sold many units to rod builders lately. I am considering buying a unit and would appreciate some feedback. Thanks

Carlo, weighed it this morning...tipped the scales at 4 oz. The only thing I wasn't pleased with is the scuff marks in the finish from the pieces rubbing against each other in the plastic bag it was shipped in. Other than that I am looking forward to building this rod. Mark
