Chipped joint

[mccarrel]

Hey guys,
I have a cheap little five weight I use for traveling, its a four piece, and the first piece joint has a chip but the graphite below seems to be in tact, Can I just re epoxy it? If not do you guys no a place that can do a simple repair for cheap. Its a reddington so there isn't a warranty.

I would just clean the spot with dentaured alcohol then apply a drop of 2-part epoxy. If it helps the integrity of the spot then great, if it doesn't you are only out the time and effort you put in to the repair.

You could wrap over the whole chip area with thread (like a guide wrap) that matches the blank color then coat with rod finish.

Sounds like Randy has a great idea, to me.

But, if you want...you could visit Ollie Damon's shop.
