U-40 Rod Bond – Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive

Great to work with. Reel seat installs, cork, EVA, carbon fiber, and lead counter weights. Handles all very well. Latest use was with the Tsuka 2 grip.

Hands down Rod Bond has become my favorite rod building epoxy. It is very flexible and strong once completely dried. I don’t find mixing an issue, and recycle little pieces of plastic coated cardboard from packages to mix on. Follow Falconers video on YT on how to mix this stuff properly.

Very, very good rod building epoxy that I’ve used now for reel seats, grips and cork rings. Though I still prefer Ultimate 3 for cork rings.

This is the first I have used this product and found it to be as described. Was easy to mix, apply and clean up was a breeze. I would recommend it to anyone.

To mix u40 rod bond, you will visually measure two equal parts. At first I thought this was going to be an issue, but it’s very easy to do so. Spend a little time eyeballing and adjusting your measurement on your mixing platform and then mix. I use pieces of coated shiny cardboard from product boxes to mix on. Search YouTube for Falconers video howto. It’s very strong once set and flexible.

Easy to work with, a little goes a long way! Reasonably priced and standard fast shipping from Mud Hole!! Thanks Guys!!

This works like I expected it to. Easy to mix and use, not much of a odor.

Works great for ferrules on my bamboo fly rod builds.

I have been using U-40 rod bond epoxy for all my cork, EVA, wood, reel seats,butt caps and winding checks adhesive needs for almost 26 years and have never had one failure. Fantastic product.

I've been using U-40 for many many years, never a single failure. I consider this epoxy a 100% permanent bond. I've used it on everything you could imagine from leather to stainless steel, it holds and stays.

works as advertised. was advised a year ago to use this product and never looked back. I use it for my reel seats.

Easy to mix. Results have always turned out excellent.

I have used U-40 Rod Bond over the past 6 years or so for both new builds and repairs of bamboo fly rods. Ferrules, cork grips, winding checks, reel seats and plugs, tip-tops. Also for a few repairs of graphite and fiberglass fly rods. Really satisfied with the result.

Easy mixing; and more than adequate working time.

I have a heated drying cabinet for curing, so I can maintain minimum curing temps.

Fantastic product; no issues in 6 plus years hard fishing with rods built with U-04 Rod Bond.

This is the best I’ve found

Used this epoxy to repair a reel seat on a light G Loomis rod I’ve had for decades. It worked great! Another repair or two and the rod will be back in commission.

This was my first time building a custom rod and I was slightly concerned about mixing any 2 part epoxy or hardener. Mixing was not only easy, but almost impossible to mess up. The Rod Bond kit included measuring cups for ease of use. I won't use another product for handle installation as this one was perfect for me!

How about both this time to try out the 10 minute set which definitely is not 10 minutes but it does hard and faster and less time to set the seat so have everything ready. this rod bond on the other hand set to the slower pace so you have an extra 15 minutes or so to get everything in linement make sure you have enough in there and make sure you went backwards and forwards built up enough whenever and where you need. Overall I like it better than the Pro kote I think off the top of my head build bond. It works but for some of my salt water heavier builds I trust the u-40 and I want to try fusion 15 as well for grips and some I've heard great things about it for those

This two part adhesive for repairing broken rods and handles works great have never had one come loose after being repaired works great on other items that needs mending as well this is a great product

U-40 Rod Bond

drys hard as a rock, also very strong. by far one of the strongest glues i’ve used.

Very good and easy to work with using a popsicle stick to mix and apply. Had my Abu Garcia Veritas reel seat repaired in 24 hours and even installed a new rear grip on another Veritas I customized with a shorter handle. Everything went smooth and problem free !

Have used this to make a couple of custom cork handles and haven’t had a problem with them so far

Easy to mix and use

U-40 Rod Bond

Love this stuff. Remains slightly flexible and is tough as you can get. Easy to work with and clean up.

I switched to U-40 about a year and a half ago, and haven’t looked back. Haven’t
Had any issues at all since I started using. I also use U-40 quick set for quick repair jobs.

Great product !
