Tip Top adhesive

Recommended Posts

I have a quick question about tip top adhesive. I ordered some new tip tops from Mudhole that one of their techs recommended. Asked the guy if Devcon 2 ton would be ok to put them on. He said guys usually use that tip top hot glue because if you needed to get that tip top off that had been epoxied you would have to cut the rod. I’m hesitant to use the tip top glue as I have had lots of failures with it. It just doesn’t hold well. I thought if you heated the 2 ton it would let loose like the glue. What’s you frequent rod builders experience and opinions on this?

Thanks Glenn. 

I would test it on an old rod before I put it on one a cared about.

You can remove the old tip with a cigarette lighter, and then do your test.  Just be sure you get all the old glue off, because any left over glue under the epoxy will give you a false reading.
