I am hoping that someone on here can help. I finally recived a back ordered blank and planned to build it this weekend for delivery next week. When installing the cork reel seat, specifically the SK2 with Fuji BGKS16RC cork the cork slip in half.

Does anyone in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area happen to have a Fuji BGKS16RC I could buy from you? I'm willing to pay retail price and would come pick it up.

could you possibly glue it with out an unsightly seam ?? and them ream it to fit ??
to glue it I would use clear epoxy and apply a thin coat to the cracks and line them up clean off the excess with DA or acetone and tape them with electrical tape as it will stretch and hold the seam to a minimum after it is cured lightly sand it and ream it to fit properly JM2C.

Think out side the box when all else fails !!!

Unfortunately not, some of the cork splintered off when it broke...

This rod build is cursed.

If you can not find one in your area, I have a couple and could spare one, but live in MS. Could send it 2 day priority mail and you would get early next week. I can glue it to the hood if you wish so you would not need to worry about it breaking again. Just let me know.
