Worn Spigot!

[Ray.J.]

Very worn spigot only a few mm left!
I am wondering how I can build my spigot up.
Stan(Fishfingers) mentioned on a earlier thread about using super glue.
Not sure what to do!
Any advice as this is my main rod. It got jammed the other night and I had to wiggle it to get it apart.

candle wax or matt black spray paint work, also carbon joint sprays , century do spigot repairs for £ 25

Clean and degrease spigot put on a latex glove really tight fitting 1 then get some supet glue only a small amount and quickly spread over the whole of the spigot levelling it out remember very thin coat let dry for a couple of days then try it if it needs anothet coat lightly abraid the previos coat the reapply a second coat just keep tepeating thr process although 2 coats is generally suffice any high spots can be rubbed out with 1000grit wet and dry really does work same as the car paint done quie a few and still going syrpng the secret is to noy rush it let iy fully cure impatience will ruin it

You certainly are the expert of getting loose things tight mind Stan

Cheers Stan!
I might give it a try.
It's on a Nemesis Plus you built, that I bought second hand a year or so ago.
Also I was fishing next to a bloke last night who had a rod he had rebuilt by you
as well.
You must have done quite a few over the years!

I had the same problem on one of mine, just bottomed out.
Tried candle wax and it works a treat, just rub it all over the spigot.
You may need to rub candle wax on again every few months but so what.

Preston Innovations Joint Care - the paint on rather than the spray on - is very good. Used to use it on my poles when I was into freshwater match fishing

Just bought some spray on Prestons Joint Restorer from Ted Carters.
I use candle wax on my fly rods to stop them coming apart but wasn't sure it would work that well on a badly worn spigot.
Anyway, I now have plenty of options to try!
Thanks for all the replies lads!!

That should work Ray, mask off above the spigot and plenty of thin coats I reckon
