OK, here's a question. I have a beautiful Diamondback 7' 2/2 4WT Bamboo Fly Rod. Problem is that one of the tips has a hairline crack in one of the side strips, only appearant as the rod tip is flexed and not on the spine or belly of the rod.

One of my fellow TU members suggested using s syringe to inject some additional adhesive in the crack as it opens from flexing, then wrap it with silk thread. Diamondback wants $350 for a new tip as they do not warranty bamboo, but may or may not have a tip to replace the broken one.

The question comes what type of glue or adhesive do I use?

Then the second question is the wraps have a clear see through look to them, maybe a slight amber color, but clear. Wondering if the Gossamer silk in white would work and would it change to the transparent clear / amber color?

I'll take a picture of the crack and the wraps tomorrow morning and attach them in a second post.

Thanks

Matt
