I've seen guys years ago put shaving cream on blanks to fit foam grips like you just did.

Can you use alcohol for the pressure fit?

Nothing highlights my immaturity more than my reaction to, "bell-end", being used in a professional setting.
I did however find this video extremely helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video, the question I have is about the thread carriage what brand is it and where do you get them

@anonymousanonymous7311 3 years ago

Great content!!!!

When you mentioned epoxy applied to the grip is that rod thread wrap finished or the type of epoxy used on reel seat?

How do you fit and align reel seats on to stand up rods. Do you fit the ferrule for trolling butts after rod guides are on? What do you do with a Heavy duty saltwater reel seat?
