Re: Reel seat replacement
two part epoxy, the type you can find at most hardware stores or eben target would work but if you go that route for ease of buying locally, i'd sugest the type of 2-part epoxy in the twin plungers with a longer set time than 5 mins. i've just run into quite a few mistakes made with it from reading other forums.
i think the best stuff to use is U40's Rod bond, about $12 for the two part paste-like stuff. just scoop out a bit of the resin, and then scoop out an equal amount of the hardener. you can be off a bit so i just use plastic spoons. most rod building supply vendors carry it, probably even cabelas for online or phone ordering ease. you'll have more than enough which is a good excuse to take up rodbuilding :-) rod bond is made for rods and results in a great bond, meteal to metal, wood to metal, plastic to metal, etc. it takes about a day to set which allows time to correct fit if things should shift during the assembly and dry times. it's a firm but slightly flexible bond. it also works well for other household needs.
