Introduction

You will need to do the repair fairly quick once you get to the point of gluing the rod tip on the rod so the glue doesn’t dry on either piece separately. It’s important that both pieces have the melted glue applied when putting them together.

What you need

Step 2

• Melt the tip of the glue stick with a lighter.
• Use a paper towel underneath the area you melt the glue because it can melt very quickly and drip on the surface where you are working.
• Take the necessary precautions when applying heat to the glue stick because an open flame and hot glue are involved and can burn skin and other things.
