Re: Repairing rod tip help
if i'm guna stick it on the drying wrack, i'll use flexcoat, if not, i have yet to have any problems with super glue, but if you want your tip to stay for more than a week, dont use rod tip glue
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

Re: Repairing rod tip help
Don't use super glue Justin.You'll have to cut the rod if the tip needs replacing again.I may be just a store clerk but I know the correct way to put on a rod tip.

Re: Repairing rod tip help
I don't glue tips back on often, but when I do, I prefer something recommended by someone who does.
Screw it. Let's ride.
