Never had a glue bond give yet and I've got a lot of rods that I've built out there. The half hour stuff gets brittle and cracks. If you need give me a call and I'll tell you how i do them . be safe Ron
Hey Ron - hope you are well. The 30 min is less brittle than the 5 min. Thats why I asked. I use it for plugs so I have plenty of it around. I had rod bond and pro cote but both hardened from sitting around.

Thanks Vic. I forgot if I used it on a rod before. If I did its still holding up.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
