It's a great testament to the English dumbification system when millions of people are so much more articulate and skilled in English, as a second or maybe third language, than the majority of the natives are with their own. Fantastic my friend, and thank you for the video.

Thx for the comment:) it’s uplifting:)

[@gracekim3186]

Thank you for sharing! I coat guides at my job it helps I usually burn and then precoat the guides. It also helps if you use heat to smooth it out. After I zippo lighter each guide then I put in a thick layer and smooth it out with a brush. I only go 1/16th outwards so the thread doesn’t soak up. Please watch out for pullbacks or the rod will soak it all up.

[@asavafishing]

Great tip!

Nu ai pentru ce, doar asa vor merge lucrurile inainte... si cine stie de la cine mai invat si eu una alta.... unele din chestiile din clip le-am invatat de la mai putin rodbuilderi ca si mine... dar cu cate o ciupeala de ici de colo, cate un esec... a iesit ce se vede. Daca-l fac peste 2-3 ani acest clip s-ar putea sa mai completez cu ceva chestiuni :P

[@fishingforfun3317]

Nice job 👍

[@ShorrockPaul]

Great video on epoxying. Just curious why the gold thread on the guide does not line up properly ? See 12:19

[@asavafishing]

IT is because there’s where the thread goes up the foot of the guide …. If I would’ve done the inserts after the bump, where the surface is flat , the issue would not be there anymore !

[@jeffmcfarren6022]

I am new to rod building and am really curious how you did the wrap at the end of your label with the single inlay on each end?

[@asavafishing]

I will try to Make a tut on that as well

[@zoltanhegedus6286]

GREAT VID

[@frankfrok1265]

Excellent demonstration. When you added extra epoxy to the guide that the thread showed through did you use the gel like mix or did you make up a fresh mix?

[@asavafishing]

The gel like mix, is the same batch of epoxy… it starts as really fluid but after 20-40min it starts to gelify and harden. If it doesn’t sip through as is … and it starts to gelify… it needs some help from a lighter !

[@BVDsGoneFishing]

What if you don't have a Rod-Spinner-9000 and only have one that does 9 rpm's? I even thinned my first coat with 99% isopropal alcohol and it came out a little bumpy. Should I have added heat with a burner?

[@asavafishing]

With a 9rpm, it takes time and experimenting to get the hang of it… first you need a goood understanding of how the resin works at different stages ! It’s 2 much to put into words !

[@ryan26i]

Can I apply an epoxy on the loose/moving single footed guide? how much can i apply and in what part? Thanks

[@zassaultt671pange5]

Can I use fiber glass resin to do this I’m guessing that epoxy resin is more clear unlike the fiberglass resin? Jst trying to work with what I already have. Thanks

[@asavafishing]

Not recommended!

[@Roho_Outdoors]

How long do you wait before applying the 2nd coat of epoxy?

[@asavafishing]

Usually MAX 24hours !

[@seanmasi09]

hi great video .. I am going to attempt to re coat old poles that are hand crafted by my uncle about 15 years ago ? my question is what are your tricks to do so ?

[@asavafishing]

Difficult to say... what material are they made from?

[@timtan3695]

Candies to my eyes… Almost Perfect Finish

[@iluv2bd1]

How do you do double foot guides, do you use the same technique? Thanks🤙🏼

[@asavafishing]

Same !

[@asavafishing]

If you have big guides, you might not be able to do them all without some exercise, because it takes longer for each guide, and the resin might start to harden faster.

[@epiccomeback5881]

Perfect finish, nice

[@fishingnarkodorattias6179]

Great tips thanks🤙

[@walk6602]

What guides are those? Nice work!!

Hello Andrei greetings from Galapagos gps, a beautiful corner of the Pacific, I liked your video. Where can I get a lathe like that to repair the reeds and the lighter too Thank you very much

[@asavafishing]

That is an ALPS power wrap. I will have some available in maximum a month! If you need any.

[@theghostoffrankgrimes5621]

Nice! What colour and brand thread are you using in this video?

[@asavafishing]

That one is Fuji nylon chestnut

[@harrythomas1714]

How's the best way to fix a wavey finish that is over a decal and the rod logo? Also over a thread band of about 1.5" long? Three coats thick of CRB ProKote medium build. Great video. Thanks.

[@asavafishing]

sand it on a power wrapper with lots of 600grit paper, until it's somewhat straight. Then recoat it with a thinn layer. I don't know if you can do that without the power wrapper though!

[@harrythomas1714]

@@asavafishing Thanks for the tip. I use the Flex Coat variable speed slip chuck device. Low budget. Maybe I'll get Thread Master Epoxy and put it over the sanded CRB ProKote. I've never had experienced a wavey finish before. The ProKote is 11 months old. Thanks Again for your response.

[@PRN-Life]

Hey man cool that Youre showing how the small work is done ! Ive got a question for you im trying to make some icefishingrods but i need to put some coating on the rod blank its self its pretty fragile and its not carbon in them well in one but do you have any tips on how i should coat them ? Should i just use epoxy coating and hang them up with tipupwards ? Never seen a power wrapper before i assembled,/built a fly rod over 15years ago and i used s discoball motor and some wood and made a wrapping machine rough but it did the work . Very explanatory video! Regards Paul Roger The rods are 50cm and longer .

[@asavafishing]

You can try to use automotive spray can paints... they usually hold up pretty darn well!

[@asavafishing]

the coating in 95% of cases will add nothing but some colour and weight to a blank, and nothing else.

[@jgnatovic]

Master! 👍👏

[@richardhardin3926]

When you corrected the threads showing through the guide, did you use the gelled epoxy or mix new epoxy?

[@asavafishing]

It's the same epoxy batch, but it starts to become like a gel when it starts to harden

Hi I was just wondering what rod thread you used on this rod build?( the burgundy)

[@asavafishing]

This was some very old Gutebrod!

[@brendonprice6550]

Thanks for the reply I’m unfamiliar with that brand . I’m struggling to find something similar that darkens up when epoxy is applied

[@rattusrodney]

i just need enough epoxy for replacing one guide; is there a cheaper alternative? even non fishing specific?

[@asavafishing]

You need the same guide... you can warm the wrap up with a hair drier. Pull gently moving from side to side, then with 2part epoxy, you can actually glue in the new guide. Not as pretty, but it does the trick :P

[@rattusrodney]

@@asavafishing i have dbl foot guide. it doesn;t work i think...also is their a cheaper alt to epoxy? gorilla glue? thanks

It would be great to make a video about epoxy finishing a thinner rod, like Matagi Super Area Sensor UL.

[@asavafishing]

It’s the same exact principle !

[@CatchandCraft_sk]

@@asavafishing Maybe yes..., but I would like to see how the power wrapping works (and looks like) on the smallest top rings.

[@Fisher492]

@@CatchandCraft_sk May I suggest, use a fly wrapping bobbin. Allows you to keep a tight wrap without bending the tip

[@robcarey4189]

I purchased the same epoxy and it seemed to thicker and tough to move around. Room was 68-70 Fahrenheit. Did I mix wrong? Yours seemed.much easier to push around. Also was using 9rpm drying motor to finish. Does speed help you? Thanks!

[@asavafishing]

Speed only helps me spread it, nothing more. If you apply it using a slow rpm motor instead of a power wrapper, you have to adjust technique. You need the speed in order for the resin not to start setting until you get to the last guide. If you do it straight on a drier, then it takes more time... and probably a different type of resin might work better. What kind of seringes did you use?
