How can I put a reel seat on with out havig to tear it down?
Get the closest size seat that will fit over the butt. Strip cork tape, scuff up area where seat will go with light sand paper. Clean with Acetone put ring of masking tape where the bottom of seat will be make sure seat is snug on the tape area but movable. Next pull back seat use 1 strip of cloth dry wall tape to fill void about mid way up seat. Slide seat back over the dry wall tape and masking tape to desired area. Align with guides tape off bottom the seat to the blank so no leakage. Stand up rod slightly warm up seat with hair dryer and pour epoxy in till it fills up, wait a few min and repeat till filled. leave rod standing up till next day when set up apply cork tape to bottom and butt cap you’re done.
