Cane? I'm Able!
Thanks - it is a steep learning curve...
I am now rubbing gorilla glue on to the butt section and then buffing it out with a paper towel. This will make up the finish on the rod- in the old days, builders used varnish and it was a real hassle and took months to dry. The gorilla glue method is strange, I know, but it works really well and I can put several coats on each day. Will aim for 20 coats. Tomorrow I am going to glue the two identical tips sections and I am stressed out about how they will turn out! (Most makers make two identical tip sections when building a bamboo rod.)
