Well, I picked out the first 'boo rod from my 15 that I'm going to refurbish, and I was just wondering how I should attempt to take off the reelseat. It's got one of those plastic/bakelite numbers on it that I'm going to be replacing with a NS/wood insert one. I was going to just heat it up with an alchohol lamp, but then I thought, you know, burning plastic may not be the best thing for me to be breathing in . Should I just take my dremel and cut away the reelseat (cut it down the middle and peel off the two halves), or is there some other method I could use?

Regards,
Joe Martin
