I am trying to fit a roller guide that was made for a larger tip blank. Getting a different roller tip is not a option. I could cut down the blank or make a sleeve to down size the roller guide tip. Is their anyone with a better idea. I can make a sleeve in no time so I might go that route.

try wrapping tip of rod with a layer or two of thread before you fit the top.
Hi Mike,
I've added a few coats of wrapping epoxy to build it up then sand down the epoxy to the shape of the tube then fit with tip top heat glue. More work than thread but a solid fit.
I am going to machine a sleeve it will fit tight. I can taper it to ftt the rod tip also.
