Thread: Repairing rod tip help

The tip on my ultralight rod has been loose for a while. I finally got the nerve to pull it off(which it came off easily. None of the wrapping below it is messed up or anything, so basically I just need to glue it back on. My question is what would work best to glue it back on with. Super glue, epoxy, or something else? Would be great if I would be able to get it from Walmart and go ahead and get it done.

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]Most sporting goods stores/departments carry rod tip repair kits. It contains a glue stick that you heat with a lighter.
WallyWorld should have it.

I have seen those before, just figured there might be soemthing better.

thats what I use on my rods.

You do not waent to epoxy it on!
Use rodtip, carpet glue or other beatable glue stik.

I've been using Flexcoat tiptop glue on lighter rods since it first came out 20 or so years ago and it is the best because it is high temp.Beware of the white glue sticks found in some off the shelf kits because they are the same low temp sticks you find in craft stores to be used in glue guns.

John, where can I find that Flexcoat at?

unless you just want to keep some handy for later use. john will usually stick one back on for a couple bucks. cheaper than buying the glue just to lose it before you ever need it again chef.

Yeah. I'm probably just going to do that. Was wanting to do it at home in case I wanted to use it before I got over to J&M again, but I am probably going to be stopping by there again next week, so I am going to have it done then.

I have used these before for finishing a guide a two.

... just mix a few CCs of each.
Has to be stored it in a controlled environment though after opening.

Thanks for clearing that up John.
I was thinking in terms of the 5 minute epoxies :-[
