Is 3oz of each hardener and resin required for a proper mix?

Great clip. I’m new and haven’t done one yet but I have a rod I want to do. Do I just wet and dry the blank and remove as much of the top coat as I can without going too deep and rubbing through it do I have to scrape the top coat off first then smooth out with wet n dry ?? I think I’ve seen something somewhere about using a Stanley knife blade to scrape them back Thanks in advice Mal

i use a mini heatgun for heat. they are not too hoy as they are only 300 watts. they cost around £10

i have rebuilt a few zippys and there has been nothing at all on the decals. they were just stuck on

Very informative thank you! It’s a bit different to the epoxy application I normally do but I’m looking forward to trying it

Hi, where can i buy the plastic insert caps from ? Great videos, Thanks

hi, is it possible to use resin to bind the rings for the carbon blank?

Can u add black tint to the bondseal and can this be used on a composit or glass rod

What varnish do you use on your rod building ,say for instance if j wanted to revarnish myvwhole rod ,carp rods

Very good, is smart idea.

Thats awesome! Very similar to a Spook.

Im not familar with Bondaseal. I assume its similar to PermaGloss?

Thanks for sharing this. First thought, would it help to heat the decal first to soften it? Also... I have a Cadence Specimen rod (coloured blank) with an awful maker's graphic which I'd like to remove. It lies between two whippings above the handle, so I was thinking of masking those whippings off, using acetone and a cloth (or 0000 wire wool) to remove everything between them, including the rod's paint, then airbrushing a fresh base colour before applying an alternative decal. Does that all sound sorta feasible? Cheers, Steve

G.J.M. Oi...

Fantastic youtube channel, Very informative. Could I ask you where you get the plastic insert lids if you dont mind.

Fantastic set of tutorial video's. I'm about to start rebuilding a few of my older rods to get some practice and this channel will be my go to. I've looked around for a supplier near me who sells Bonda seal and the only one I can find is the blue tin Bonda wood seal. Would this be suitable or do I need to source tne red tin.

Nice video..after sanding with still a few light scratches does the bonda seal cover them?

Hot water I find it much Quicker ! And this clown likes to play with his tools ! I I have done this for year's yea . I been pissing all my life to but still get it on the seat some times 😂

It's so much easier to mix resin in a mixing cup ! What is the point of letting at least 20% of it run off the rod ?

Blimey you are making a right meal of that !

Hi thanks for the videos, I found them very helpful, I am going to be shrink wrapping my beach caster soon and installing a new reel seat! It's currently fixed for fixed spool, I have been wondering about using a sliding seat over the wrap! (I'm looking at a swift sliding seat) Do you think this would work ok or should I keep it fixed? Any thoughts would be much appreciated, Martin

where is your video on applying the decals pleae?

I’ve tried masking with frog tape in green and the high build still creeps beneath, would the blue decorators tape work ? Thanks

สวัสดีครับ อุปกรณ์ใช้ทาอีพ๊อกซี่ คืออะไรครับ

U put the rod back in...what was done then?

beautiful job and idea.

How did the prymax turn out

Hello. I would like to know if it is possible to apply Bonda Seal on a painted blanck, to seal the paint. Regards. Nice vídeo by the way...👌💪

hi m8, i have a anyfish anywhere Big Beach MK2 i want to rebuild it can i send you my rod thank you

Hellow sir! how abowt using an airbrush for adding bondaseal onto the blank ?

Is it ok to aplly bondaseal directly on the decal? Or epoxy coat first? T.i.a

Very useful series of videos thanks. I've got an old Glass fibre beachcaster that I keep threatening to rebuild & restore. Any recommendations for the best paint to use as it is a horrible shade of yellow and I would like to paint it black before Bondaseal and new rings etc. Stay safe & well!

Where did you buy that lure m8 I been looking for it thank you for the chairing and all information

top rod builer !!!

Good series of videos. I'm guessing this could be used with metals as well to preserve the finish. Also curious to know where you got your chucks for the rod turner? Thanks - stay safe & well! 👍👍

Been using household vinegar for cleaning boatbuilding epoxy brushes for years. It's nonflammable and doesn't smell too bad

You make it look easy . Mine has runs all over it haha

High mate, did you use any kind of sealer on the fuji threads? I tried using fuji white and it turns silver.

Spot on. I'm going to stop work on mine and go with one like this.

I like it. Nice job.

How you mix the apoxy will also be effective in keeping bubbles out

Slower dryer will git all the air out.

One question, do you recommend this epoxy or the flex coat? Thanks, I'm a beginner and I used one, I don't remember the name, but it dried very quickly.

Hi, great video! I would like to ask you 2 questions, if you do not mind ;-) First, in the video, you did not apply heat to the epoxy resin to remove bubbles. Do you use some kind of special and very liquid epoxy resin, which does not create bubbles? Second, when do you remove the masking tapes? Just after applying the resin when it is still liquid, or do you wait a few hours when it begins to harden a little?

As a new rod builder here, what is the purpose of the bondaseal? Is it a finish for a bare blank when refurbishing and sanded blanks or is there another reason? Thanks for the clear tutorial!! Richaed from Kansas;)

Very nice tutorial! New sub here. Richard from Kansas, USA;)

Great video as always 👍. Just out of interest do you use the grade A thread for the underwrap just under the guide or is it for the full length of the guide including the feet?

Hi I am impressed with the Daiwa AGS rod guides. Do you know if they sell them on their own? Thanks

Can this stuff also be used for doing the whipping instead of epoxy? Buy the way..thanks for the easy to follow tutorials👍

The Gen 4 arrived Bob and I applied it yesterday... brilliant stuff and the most user friendly epoxy I've used. Goes on like a dream! Cheers, Gareth
