Try heating the winding checks to weaken the epoxy, have heard you can cut the area off i.e cut the blank into sections and boil them. wont affect the metal checks but should weaken the epoxy enough to get them off and clean them up. Hope that helps]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 12:43:54 +0000 http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=91064&PID=1300938&title=stripping-old-rods#1300938 <![CDATA[Rod Building : Stripping old rods]]> http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=91064&PID=1300910&title=stripping-old-rods#1300910 Author: daveo

I'm in the process of stripping some old jig rods and was wondering what's the best way to remove parts like winding checks and reel seats? Guides are all off just trying to salvage what I can from the bottom end]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 11:36:19 +0000 http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=91064&PID=1300910&title=stripping-old-rods#1300910 <![CDATA[Rod Building : Rod building setup for sale]]> http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=90553&PID=1296124&title=rod-building-setup-for-sale#1296124 Author: johnybegood

Best to use proper rod building thread. Check out Gofish in auckland, probably no point buying from overseas. Heck someone on here might have enough spare they can give you?]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:25:11 +0000 http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=64690&PID=1293051&title=rod-building-tips-and-questions#1293051 <![CDATA[Rod Building : Rod building tips and questions]]> http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=64690&PID=1293023&title=rod-building-tips-and-questions#1293023 Author: Gowest

Hey guys Im replacing some guides on an old Killwell 24kg stand up trolling rod. Ive been trying to find out what is the right kind of material for wrapping guides onto the blank and cant find anything. Does it have to be a specific type os guide wrapping/rod building thread? Or can you use braid? Cheers]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 08:06:27 +0000 http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=64690&PID=1293023&title=rod-building-tips-and-questions#1293023 <![CDATA[Rod Building : starting out]]> http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=90298&PID=1292633&title=starting-out#1292633 Author: Xtoad

I wouldnt make a wrapping machine - when you need one it will be worth buying one.
I have one but only use the motor for long wraps and prefer to do guide wraps by hand, rolling the rod manually.
I made my first drying set up as below. Used a rubber stopper with a bolt to hold the blank (needed masking tape to snug tight). Rheostat for speed control from Jaycar and a laptop charger as a power source.

Have purchased a drying motor from ebay, will make the rest for a dryer.
Also looking into making a power wrapper with a sewing machine motor, any idea what to use as the chuck for the pulley?
