Wayne - Like has been mentioned everyone has their own way of doing things. I too worry about the whole thing slipping once a mandrel is removed, although I have no specific instance to recall this happening. I have a separate mandrel that I use just for the glue-up. Just a piece of 5/16" steel round bar from homedepot. If you rub paraffin wax on the mandrel before glue-up you wont get any adhesion. I have an example of this posted on a thread from a few months back..... http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/s...ded#post346570Originally Posted by waynep
Steve probably makes more rods than all of us combined so I imagine his method is pretty much perfected by now. I'm sure you cant go wrong doing exactly what he has posted in the original post.
