Some people use Titebond II or Titebond III for gluing reel seats. However, I don't recommend it .. Rod Bond is tougher AND much better to work with.

Rod Bond will never get "hard". It will be like extremely firm caulking when set. The best thing about it, is that it adheres like crazy, but stays flexible. It cures fully in 24 hours. It is not overly particular to the mix ratio. Obviously, strive for 50/50 ... but you only need to eyeball it and you won't have any issues.
