Hi there.

I've built a rod with the help of an instructor once, now I bought Pacific Bay kit, it comes with glue and "everything".

I have a few questions.

I read here on faol that you should put masking tape on two places on the rod under the reel seat and fill the gap with epoxy, I did that but the amount of epoxy that came with the kit was not enough to do this and I read on another place that you should fill the whole thing with masking tape or what? How do you do you fasten the reel?

I'm also quite confused about all the glues and stuff.
What kind/brand do you use for the coating of the thread and what to glue the reel seat and what for the top...
I was maybe thinking of buying flex coat "regular" (one layer).
I like thick coatings.
Any comments here?


And maybe which thread?

I understand that this is probable a question of "religion" what brand you use, but I take the change and ask it anyhow

And yes I know this question has probable been posted her million times.
