Can I make a suggestion that for the up coming rod building weekend we buy a pot of two part epoxy glue rather than some bringing along only small volumes of 5 minute epoxy. This would make gluing up butts and tips more efficient and cost effective for all those wishing to glue up. Some of the better brands are epiglue and technieglue.

Good idea Stu.

I use that FGI brand epoxy resin, it's used at a 2:1 ratio, and it works out infinitely cheaper than 24 hour araldite. plus it's good quality, also allows time for adjustments.

I agree tubes of the five minute stuff...not good

Where do you get yours? PM if you prefer. Better still, can I give you a call over this w'end.

Yes Scotty!!! I will drop everything right away I actually started doing that last night, it will take me a while to get around everyone.

Seriously, I will be doing the same as always, will be sending out PM or posting up on this thread, keep an eye on the opening post of this thread.

Had a chat with Stu over the weekend and glue WILL NOT BE ON THE LIST. I will provide some decent stuff that takes a little longer to go 'off', this will allow time for adjustments.

Where is everyone getting their blanks and other bits? I am looking at getting a Batsons Rainshadow blank from Oz Rod Builders in NQ. I might even get grips, seat and guides there as well as they have a pretty good range of Batsons and ATC stuff. What other options are available

Cheers

Neil,

I'm not a Brizzy resident, but I do know that campbell's stock a wide range of blanks, they recently stocked Hastings.

I bought a Batsons blank from Stu at a good price, send him a PM just incase he has some more.

cheers

Neil, if you're going to do an order of the bits and pieces through there, let me know if you want to split postage. I might be interested in getting mine through there as well. My blank at this point is going to be a Samurai S006, probably pick it up through Jones'es down here. But if there's any better deals for a similar type blank (or one with just a little more grunt) going around the traps i'd be interested.
