Thanks Chief!
Well Done.

So night fishng now?  Do you folks have regs there about when you can fish?  I know out here night fishing is regulated. - john

Lot of good ideas here, and let me start by saying I have only mixed up rod epoxy a handful of times for my somewhat crude guide repairs.  But I was wandering through the lab today (as per usual thinking about fishing) and thought about these little guys:
We use them both in a sterile form for lab work (I know the AT Ohana do great work, but I suspect sterile sealed pipettes might be overkill  ) but then we also keep these same "non-sterile" ones around for tasks that are not sanitation critical.  I they measure either 2 or 3 ml and do it in .5ml increments.  And at something like $20 for a box of 500, they are pretty much meant to be single use items however for many of our non-sterile applications we will just keep reusing the same one with the same chemical/oil/compound until it seems like a good time to change it out.  The tip orifice is fairly open (I would say 1-2mm) and while the most viscous fluid we use it with in the breweries is soda syrup (64 Brix if that means anything to anyone) they pretty much handle it no problem.
If anyone wants to play around with the idea to see how it works go ahead and PM me and I can toss a few in an envelope...Apologies, ever since the Gallery went away I have no idea how to actually insert an image, so it's and attachment. - john

This is probably a little late, but I found if you pull the tension knob you can push on the spindle and that helps it thru gear.

Thank You Ron, for arranging the tribute to our dear friend Sal. I was very moved by it.     Rudy

I will attest that Ted's boat, equipment, and techniques are all World Class.  I had a blast and learned a lot during half a day on the water.  - john

Awesome videos!  Very nice and touching tribute to Sal; thanks to all who made that possible.  And yes, looked a little rocky and rolly when you folks were there fishing on the hook.  Was that down at Thetis? - john

On the SOA, October 5-13, 2021, in memory of Sal.

Thanks Cathy - it's really nice to share in those moments, despite being half a world away.
And thanks Dom for speaking so honourably on our behalf.
It's a privilege to know ya - as it was Sal.
Best wishes, Justin
