HELP- rod joint problems

<< < (2/3) > >>

Scott Cushman:
Hmmm, ok..., sorry misunderstood Jon..... will have another look and see if there's another solution...

Kasey Leong:
Hi Scott,

Instead of sandpaper you can also try one of those dishwashing sponges - you know the ones with a green and yellow side where the green part is actually very abrasive. You can use that green side and give it a quick buff. Just if you want to be a bit more sensitive. Don't over - sand!

Scott Cushman:
Hi thanks Kasey, may raid the kitchen cupboard and see what we've got. I got a super fine sand paper from the hardware store to day in anticipation but thought I would check to see what every one else said...
Cheers
Scott

Mark Harris:
Over-sanding is the worst thing to do, hence my "very gentle" comment.

I like Kasey's idea.

If you do sand, use the really finest grade polishing type sand paper and test the joint regularly to make sure you are not over-sanding.

Peter Childs:
Scott, be reeeaaaaal careful on the sanding, it removes material much quicker than you think - I've made that mistake before! 

Just a very light dusting 1 second at a time if you dare!

Better still, get one of those silicone filleting gloves, they stick like S#*t to a blanket!  I carry one just for splitting two piece rods.
