Excellent, I just hope next year allows sufficient time for me to emulate your success. If I get half as good I will be pleased.

Sand the spare side plate to get a fine dust to mix into clear epoxy. It will still show as a patch, but will not jump out from the rest of the side plate.Wallys-Cast wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 8:33 pm Excellent result Cyrus. Well done.
How would you normally repair the chip, cut a piece to fit in or make some filler out of an old side plate maybe.

Take your time, it does not have to be done in one sitting. If you run into a problem put it away and think about it for awhile.Barbelseeker wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:07 pm Excellent, I just hope next year allows sufficient time for me to emulate your success.

I have a another reel that I started over three years ago and still am not sure how I want to proceed to finish it.
