John Teresi Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 How do you keep from glueing your fingers to the beading??? Hi Curt......actually it`s pretty easy........I hold the rod in one hand.......I apply a tad of super glue with a toothpick about 1/4 of an inch of underneat the rod......then attach it to the body with a clean toothpick.....I let it dry for a few secounds and inch may around the body with the same procedure.......thanks buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
