Good day all,

I did search for this one under disassemble and take apart.

I have worked with my hands on cars, wood, metal, plastics and fiberglass for most of my life. Add to this a boxers fracture on the left hand and numerous broken, cracked and otherwise abused fingers. Anyway I have pretty thick hands as a result and my dexterity isn't great.

I did apply wax to my ferrules as the site directs and assemble my rods as also directed. I was wondering if anyone with working hands, had any tricks to aid in breakdown without putting any pressure on the guides of the rod. Its kind of hard to grip the rod and not have it slip. Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff
