I have always used a liquid for general bonding of my rods. What is the advantage of Rod Bond paste/cream?
A. Liquids run all over the place, Rod Bond stays right where you put it. Rod Bond wets surfaces because of its built in wetting agent, this means better bonding to marginal surfaces. The fillers in Rod Bond are structural, making it far stronger than liquids when a build up is required. Rod Bond will hold onto a reel seat under adverse conditions better than any liquid.
