What to use for butt joints on 2pc rods

(1/2) > >>

Ryan Theyer:
Hey guys,

I am wondering if anyone can help me. I am looking at buying some sort of wax or graphite powder for lubricating the butt joint on my 2 pce rods. I know you can buy the Smith rod ferule wax but I can't seem to find anyone in WA who stocks it....

I was thinking of using graphite powder or a product called Drilube. The only thing I am worried about is the wax heating up and causing the rod to stick together??

What do you guys think??

Cheers  Ryan

Surf board wax

Warm or Tropical water surf wax. I like the Sex Wax Quick Humps the best, or whatever else i can scrape off my boards. The wax's that are most opaque grip the best, try to avoid the ones that appear a bit translucent. Best part is you can find it anywhere and a whole bar only costs $2

Ryan Theyer:
Cheers guys. I will give that a go.
