Looking for basic tips. Got an old late 70's early 80's graphite Fenwick rod that I really like that has been out of service for decades. I want to start using this rod again but has a broken guide and a loose guide needing a rewrap. I bought a turning machine and built a wrapping stand, slow cure epoxy, thread and so on. So I'm down to needing any input on turning speed for drying and epoxy re coat times and tips. thanks

I added a cork grip in front of the reel seat on an older G rod. I split the cork grip and glued in place , My problem is a gap running the length of the grip,
about 1/16 of an inch. What would be the best product to fill this gap ? I am thinking it is some that will set up hard and be able to sand down.

I don't care what it looks like , will probably cover the whole mess with grip tape. But I think it will feel funny if it is not filled in.

Thanks folks
