Rod Stripping

Kind of figured there was no easy way.

Thanks for the replies

Once I get to the core, via the guides, would I then be able to heat the remaining epoxy enough to peel that off as well or does it bond to the blank in a way where it will have to be carefully scraped and sanded?

Whoever laid these guides on, wasn't skimpy when applying the epoxy...

It's a sweet old Lami that I'd love to spin with. Hopefully talk Goose in crocheting something sweet over the winta...

If you soften the epoxy with heat you can usually scrape most of it off with a credit card or sharp plastic scraper. It will not be perfect, however, and the gloss coat of the blank is likely to get nicked up some. If you are looking to do the job right, plan on sanding it and refinishing it. I never bother.

As for the reel seat, I've tried several ways but find a spiral cut with a hack saw is the easiest and best.
