Rod stuck together

<< < (3/4) > >>

Angus Hulme:
On a similar topic, what is the best method if the rod is currently in 2 pieces, but the join is so tight, the tip section doesn't want to slide into the join on the butt? Do you lube it with grease/vas or something? I seem to remember someone saying something about candle wax?

Cheers
Angus

Chris Young:
With all the talk of stuck rods, butts, rubber gloves and lube I feel this topic is getting a bit "out there" don't you  :o

Angus , don't use lube mate, wax is the go. You can use plain wax like the little oil burner things or get a proper rod wax stick from some of the sponsors. By waxing the joins you will lesson the chance of it sticking too

Angus Hulme:
Thanks for your suggestions Chris, yep this discussion is bordering on dubious, I agree.  ;D

Will give the wax a go and see if that helps the join.

Andrew Poulos:
Sell it really really cheap as a one piece, and then we can work it out... ;D

Peter Agapiou:
i have used ,dental dam ,latex sheets that seems the best ,remember twist and pull  you will need 2 people and the dental dam ,i can  get some for you also i have some other sheets that will work,try putting it in the sun frist.the hollow part will expand before the thicker part  will .As i cast metal  for a living ,
