25' roll of cloth backed 36 grit reamer abrasive. Wrapped & glued on to a piece of old blank stock makes fast work of fitting real seat arbors, cork, EVA and Hypalon grips.

Fiberglass Mesh Tape
for Reel Seat Bushings
2" X 150' Roll
# MT2150
$5.99
Far superior to masking tape bushings for
mounting reel seats.  This mesh tape allows the
epoxy to go all the way through the bushing, from
the seat to the blank for a fail safe bond.  "Builds
up" twice as fast as masking tape with a
thickness of .008" versus most masking tapes at
.003"-.004"      Cut into 3/4" - 1" strips, then wrap
it into bushings 1/2 - 3/4" apart under the length
of the reel seat.
NEW! Flex Coat "New Concept" Cork Drills
This 16" Speedbore Bit has been modified to cut
cork by using the BACK side of the bit.  The 1/4"
shaft is inserted through a pre-formed cork grip's
bore and then inserted into the drill's chuck.  By
pulling the drill back through the grip, it is re-bored
in one easy motion.

New Concept Cork Drills
Recently introduced in RodMaker Magazine, Flex Coat's "New Concept" Cork Drills are easy to use and a HUGE time saver.  Pre-formed Cork Grips can
be quickly and easily re-bored in a matter of seconds, rather than the time consuming, tedious method of increasing the grip's I.D. with a series of Files
and Reamers.  New Concept Cork Drills are available with full instructions from Flex Coat in three ready to use sizes.  We also offer five sizes of "stock"
Speedbore Bits for those who have a Belt Sander to grind their own  .For the full article and instructions on making your own New Concept Drills, pick up a
