I have a number of the small leather reel pouches made for Youngs reels, dating from the fiftie and sixties. I find them very handy as they are just big enough to hold an Ambidex that has a folding handle and a spare spool.
My problem is that the inner yellow lining has a volatile finish that in warm conditions sticks firmly to the reel, and if left will lift the paint off down to bare metal.
Has anyone a solution to this before I hack off the offending lining, to save the finish on my precious reels.
Regards Tom.

Re: Youngs leather reel pouches.
Never tried it but you might find putting talcum powder on the inside may stop the sticking. Perhaps I should add not to leave excess loose powder in the bag to get into places it's not required.There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Youngs leather reel pouches.
I had one the same and I use a spray bottle of 50/50 water and white vinegar for all my household cleaning jobs now so i tried spraying inside the case and left it turned inside out to dry. Seems to have cured the problem.
Best not to store reels inside but just when travelling.
