Clyde,

When I lived in California I always used the ferrule cement for my tip tops - it worked great once I figured how to get it in there. I usually covered the rod tip with the melted glue and shoved it all in the tip top. This worked for me.

Until I moved to Arizona ? guess what ? it gets hot enough here all my tiptops melted off my rods!!!! I now use the very quick dry epoxy. Bottom line is the slower an epoxy dries the more firm the hold. With the tip-top you may need to remove it sometime in the future. The application of heat will break down the quick-dry epoxy allowing for removal of the tip-top in the future if needed. The slow-dry epoxy may be more permanent so look for the 5-minute or less epoxy if you decide to go that way.
