Replacing Roller Tips

[bisquit]

I'm going to replace the small roller tip guides with large-head roller tips in order to use wind-on swivels. What type adhesive should be used, and where can it be bought?

Any help appreciated...

although you can use hot melt tip glue, for tips that are going to see heavy action, 5 Minute epoxy is probably better in the long run.

yep. 5 minute is perfect.

Thanks for the info!

Difficult part is removing the old tips.


I use a dremmel with a cutting wheel and score the old tip lengthwise and pry it open.

Dont use heat. It will damage the blank.

5 minepoxy is right.

No heat? Then it's not as simple as I thought it would be! Maybe I should get a pro to do it, rather than screw up the rods (I have 10 to do).
