urbanangler1990 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 resin and that other paste u add, cant remeber exactly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoorguy61 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 This looks repairable. Sanding with a plug and glue to seal in a nutshell should catch it. Aikmans in Mississauga should be able to do this if you do not have access to someone that works with rods. Oh...and you can also make your cork clean again (it looks filthy....lol) by a wiping it down with a bit of bleach diluted in warm water. Afterwards, wash it down it clear water. outdoorguy61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 there is a two part glue that I use for trim, I'm a carpenter, called miter bond. I think that will fix it. PM your addy and I can meet up with you to do the repair. It'll cost ya a timmy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 ....LePages two part epoxy will work (not the 5 min variety), use masking tape to secure while it dries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) "Leaning".... I think I'd take the "typing" of a rod builder, especially Spiel, verbatim if I was you. Edited November 21, 2007 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are other types of glue that would or could work but IMO epoxy is the best because it is for the most part, permanent! Thanks Wayne.

Dabluz Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Don't forget to insert a small piece from an old broken rod before gluing the end of the handle back on with epoxy. Every time I come across a piece of rod or a broken rod, I keep it in order to salvage parts when friends come to me with their broken rods to be repaired. When I have enough broken rods, I make some short ice fishing rods for fishing trout, pike and even saltwater fish like cod and halibut in up to 600 feet of water.

outdoorguy61 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 If using 2 part epoxy, it is very important that both surfaces be clean and a nice fit is secured. This fit should somehow be compressed to make it perform and last better. Just a tidbit. outdoorguy61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
