Conoflex Parts 8a & 8b - Using wet & dry to prepare the rod blank.

Demonstrating how to prepare a rod blank using wet & dry followed by a clean up with Meths. Important preparation in advance of the Bondaseal Coat in Part 9.

Great clip. I’m new and haven’t done one yet but I have a rod I want to do. Do I just wet and dry the blank and remove as much of the top coat as I can without going too deep and rubbing through it do I have to scrape the top coat off first then smooth out with wet n dry ?? I think I’ve seen something somewhere about using a Stanley knife blade to scrape them back
Thanks in advice

Very useful series of videos thanks. I've got an old Glass fibre beachcaster that I keep threatening to rebuild & restore. Any recommendations for the best paint to use as it is a horrible shade of yellow and I would like to paint it black before Bondaseal and new rings etc. Stay safe & well!

Bondaseal will attack most paints. If you use car paint, apply a 2k car lacquer instead of Bondaseal.

Can u add black tint to the bondseal and can this be used on a composit or glass rod
