I promised a co-worker that I would repair her noodle rod but when I went to the garage to get the bunch of broken fiberglasss rod blank pieces I had set aside for such things I learned that they were thrown out as garbage during the last garage clean-up ( guess I should have participated instead of going fishing). I have heard of using shrink wrap for the sleeve but have never tried it. Has anyone here done it that way and did it work?
