I've removed and moved a guide on a rod but there is all this binding epoxy (no thread) left from where the guide was. I've used a scalpal to scrape as much as possible off before I was threatening to cut into the blank.
How can I remove this old epoxy stuff? I've heard steel wool with a solvent will work? What can I do? It doesn't affect the performance but makes the rod look ugly. -------------------- DANCE!

I'm just about to rebind a rod, and have found that the epoxy on both the binding and glass, is very thick. It comes off reasonably easy with wet and dry, and as JG says, that is probably the safest and best way to do it.
On another note, I am being a bit lazy and don't really want to underbind or do fancy bindings. The rod is to be used for 12lb line and a baitrunner reel. It isn't an expensive rod, and is of glass construction, rather than graphite/carbon. Should I underbind? |
