Rod builders I need some advice please. I need to put a new roller guide on the tip of my 37 kg rod .Which glue would you use ?Is flex coat hot glue going to be strong enough ,would you go with 5 minute epoxy or is there something else? I am reading that the 5 minute epoxy can be heated to remove the tip if needed without destroying the blank but I’m not confident about this.Your thoughts please.

Just asking questions.. one never stops learning...
Why araldite and not  epoxy?

And why not hot melt as is the norm (as have been told by a couple rod builders and ppl who repair) on most other rods?

Yeah  but this is a 37kg roller tip rod....
Not quite the ave 'get a feed' type rod..

I always use 5 minute Araldite for rod tips, easy to remove with a bit of heat and sets quickly so there’s no chance of the tip moving out of alignment while the epoxy is setting. I’ve made 100’s of rods for me and paying clients, plus repairs in a sports store back in the day. Have had no issues with the 5 min epoxy.

Id go for an epoxy over Araldite on a 37kg rod.
