Marc nice work, those look great. if i was to strip and polish a reel, how often do you use the Mothers polish to protect against salt water corrosion, or do you use some sort of clear coat??
               
      Thanks

                John
No clear coat, as for the number of time I need to polish it, well I guess it depends how often you use it in a harsh environment, like dunking it. And if you do need to polish it again, it really doesn't take much time to do it once you have done the initial polishing

On my 710 I did it two times, one time on the 650ss, I do the normal cleanup after each sorties
Thanks, Marc..

Marcq, nice to hear from you, it's been quite awhile! I've been looking forward to seeing more carbon fiber creations....

Sid, been crippled lately, can't fish, can't fabricate. Tennis elbow on the left, sprained thumb on the right. Have the tendency to push hard when everything is fine
Getting old I guess
Noticed the notification is working, didn't realize it's been so long  ::)

Getting old is not for sissies. I've tried it out, it's not for me. Maybe I'm a sissy :)

Checking in on you again, another month has passed. Hope the elbow and thumb are improving. I have had "trigger finger" in my thumb twice, both times responded to steroid injections and immobilization, but it wasn't fun - took 3-4 weeks in a splint, to the best of my recollection.

Be well.

X2 - I have a 650SS that I would like to see in that condition! That wooden handle is great.
