I aquired a Sealy Octofloat 11ft split cane rod n pretty poor conditions.
All ferrules are loose, a few eyes are badly corroded, and the tip section has a split down 2 of the the glue lines which run about 1/2 way down the section.
I want to try to repair the rod.
1. how to i clean off the existing varnish
2. how do i reglue the tip sections where the glue has presumiably failed, what do i use to glue it
3. what type of varnish do i use when i revarnish
4. any other advice (other than bin it) would be appreciated
cheers
