Splicing Rod Or Attaching New End Ferrule
1. Cut away damaged section(s) of fiberglass rod with a
fine-tooth hacksaw or sharp knife. Strip protective jacket
back about 1-1/18" for end ferrule repair or 1" for rod
splice repair.
Do not cut into fiberglass core when stripping jacket. Do
not crush fiberglass core.
2. Use emery cloth provided to roughen surface of fiber-
glass core end (Fig. 1). Do not remove large amounts of
Fig. 1
material during sanding.
3. Clean ends of fiberglass core with a cleaning solvent
such as lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol before ap-
plying glue.
4. Allow cleaning solvent to evaporate.
