The resin does not cure fully even after days of application it still remains sticky to the touch.

I have to admit that I was a bit dubious about this kit but it's more useful than I had realized. All you need to repair a rod top is a replacement tip, epoxy and perhaps a bit of sandpaper to rough up the end a touch. This kit also includes wrapping thread, thread cutter, tape, brushes and a small mixing cup. Add some replacement line guides and you can actually re-do the guides and tip on an entire rod. How many rods you can do with the supplies in this kit I couldn't tell you, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't knock out two or three entire rods (you adding the line guides, of course).So for simple rod tips, absolutely recommend this kit (assuming the size of tip included meets your needs of course), but even for entire rod line guide replacement as well.

The product is excellent and priced competitively. It has numerous sized rod tips, and was able to choose the one that fitted perfectly and snugly to my broken rod. The glue (mixing two resins) is simple to use but it does take a while to set. I left mine overnight and it's a solid as a rock.

I was a little shocked when I opened the package and found that the kit had opened in the shipping box; nothing was damaged or missing, and after a quick inspection I realized the manufacturer just needs to provide a box with a smidge more space inside to contain all the kit supplies. (I got it all to fit after my first repair without having to force anything in its place) No big deal though. You use the kit like you would a "standard" kit: heat the broken tip guide, and twist it off. The sand paper swatches included were of high quality and removed all the old tip glue in quick order. Test fit the right size guide (they have a wide range that should fit most standard freshwater, and even some larger saltwater rods) Heat the resin stick provided, get glue evenly around the tip, and fit the replacement tip while resin is hot. (or reheat it if not) Make sure it's lined up with the rest of the guides and wait for resin to cool until hard. (I shaved down some of the squished out resin that accumulated at the base of the tip guide with a new hobby knife & blade) The tied the provided wrapping twine on, wrapped it onto the rod and onto the base of the tip guide. I then set a timer on my phone for the recommended two minutes for UV cure time, (tip: tie a small hook on the end of the wrapping twine and take up most of the excess that isn't wrapped, then set the hook into the foam twine spool, this will help you keep tension for the next step) I then applied the UV cured resin, set a timer on my phone and provided UV curing light, hit star on the timer and spun the rod back and forth in an overlapping back and forth arc to allow the UV resin to spread evenly while curing. By the time the timer was up, the UV resin was rock hard. (a tiny bit of surface tack made me continue with the UV light and rotating the rod for an additional 20-30 seconds, but I believe that to be a matter of UV cured resins, not inferior UV resin, as it it was far from problematic and the tack dissipated after a short time. With the same hobby knife, I cut the twine from the cured wrapping and took a small hobby file to the tiny bump that was left due to the cutting of the tag end of the wrapping twine. And then I did the tug and twist test. I think I could've twisted the pole to the point of it breaking the new tip guide, the hold was that strong. I did not place the kit back in my work room; it went right into the tackle bag, because this kit could easily be used on a boat or sitting on a bank and could mean the difference between a miserable day of fishing, or a fantastic one. I will be ordering this product again... if somehow I end up breaking ten rod tip guides (which is not outside the realm of possibility with me, even though I've had a rod in my hand for over 37 years near constantly, lol)
