Fuji-seat Replacement

#1 Post by Pyreneenguy »

I need to replace the Fuji seat on a Conoflex blank I made over 35 years ago !

The tubular Fuji seat was glued on using epoxy ( Araldite).

The butt is fibre-glass.

What is the best method of removing the said reel-seat ?

Any advice, greatly appreciated.

A good sharp stanly blade on the plastic and a junior hack saw on the steel bands just take your time don't go as deep as the blank and it should crack open and peal off :wink:

you can also use a hairdryer to heat 'n' melt the epoxy then slowly work the seat out
