| Glue to re-attach last ringlet? The last ring on my boat rod has popped out the end. It is still securely held around the rod about an inch from the end, but I need to re-flue in the end which goes into the actual end of the rod. Looks like a metal to metal join but was advised not to use super glue as too stiff. Is there a flexible alternative which is just as strong? __________________ Jason - Got the flavour for fishing back! |

| Re: Glue to re-attach last ringlet? I use a glue gun for glueing on end eyes ,, or a Rapid Epoxy Glue |

| Re: Glue to re-attach last ringlet? Jase, if you mean you want to attach the actual circle part back to the eye then don't bother mate.unless you are a micro welder it will never hold . Buy a new eye - cheap and easy to replace - especially if its the tip eye .

| Re: Glue to re-attach last ringlet? The actual eye itself is OK. Have attempted to describe below in MS Paint..... ![]() __________________ Jason - Got the flavour for fishing back! |

| Re: Glue to re-attach last ringlet? got ya mate......the supporting 'arms' are still attached by the whipping but its the long tube bit thats come loose ?? It should be a metal to glass fibre fix tho surely - not metal to metal in which case use super glue..flexibility makes no difference here as the eyes are rigid anyway and it wont make the tip stiff one bit __________________ Shore Species 2012: Dab-Flounder-Herring-L.S.Dogfish-Pouting-Shore Rockling-5 Bearded Rockling-Small Eyed Ray-Turbot-Whiting |
