Urethane filler

[FishHawk]

What do you think of the Urethane filler used to secure the reel seat to the blank? My concern is that over time the Urethane will dry out and loosen . FishHawk

It's an arbor or bushing used to secure the reel seat to the blank.

Ok , I got you. I have seen them at Mike T's but No I don't use then. I suppose they would work well but you have to resize the inner hole and sometimes the OD? I use masking tape for my bushings. Some people use dry wall tape.

Yes, I use masking tape on the ends and drywall tape(the stuff with the holes in it) in the center.
