Rod Tip Repair

Featured Replies

The tip of my rod snapped off is there anyway to repair it. I see they see replacement tips at Wally's. How would one go about doing so?

Sand off the shards to its smooth, take a lighter the the glue stick, get the glue on, and the slide the new tip on. Make its alligned properly, then wait a little bit.

Your good to go then,

Thanks Glenn. I watch all your videos always very informative.

If the rod had snapped right below the tip is the process basically the same?

When I broke one of my more pricey rods in a door, I decided to take it to a local shop that happens to build rods. Guy there put a new tip on for maybe $3.00. Looks like it was built on the rod from the factory.

I have done my own as well, and done a good job if I say so meself, but if I were looking for great, pro quality work, I'd take it to this guy again.

Sand the shards off. Set the replacement tip with super glue then wrap it in thread (to match the wrap color). Then coat it in 2 part epoxy. You can't tell it was ever broke.
