Re Whipping Rod Rings
I have 1 or 2 rings that need re whipping that was sealed with varnish back in the day.
I don't want to buy a full tin of resin.
Could I use clear nail resin?
As I have some left over
Cheers guys.

Re: Re Whipping Rod Rings
How about a small tin of Humbrol varnish from the model shop like we used to use? About ten coats will make a nice job!

Re: Re Whipping Rod Rings
The local tackle shop owner taught me the secret to the high gloss finish he finished rod eyes with Grant. Forget using a brush. Just make sure your hands are clean and use a finger tip to apply the varnish. It takes lots and lots of coats but the finish is flawless.

Re: Re Whipping Rod Rings
Hobbycraft stock Humbrol paint and most likely Humbrol varnish.
They also stock balsa but not sure if they have Dowel rods......B&Q might have dowel rods though.
