Looks like Bobco are out. This stuff is like rocking horse poo. Wouldn't surprise me that it's got some kind of organic compound in it that was part of the EU ban.

You could probably thin it for that application, would make it easier to get a thin coat

Don't know if it's any use but there is a trick where you mix superglue with bicarb of soda to get a rock hard lasting finish. I've done it to repair hard plastic guitar nuts (the thing at the top of the neck all the strings go through), it sets rock hard and then can be filed sanded as required

I like that trick, I tried it out today setting magnets in some joinery
Not sure how it'd work on a spigot tho

This may sound stupid but have accidentally mixed the rod tops up? You could try it on the other two (assuming you have three) bottom pieces?
I was told with my free spirits never to mix them up as they're made together to fit?

So these treb lites are custom built as Harrison don't number their factory builds.

Not trying to be a pr*ck but are you sure you're not mistaking an overfit joint for a spigot? Harrisons have always been overfit.
Either that or perhaps they're not the rods you were told they were?

They'd have to be overfit seeing as what they are. I think I've confused things as I'm used to seeing a normal overfit that doesn't have whippings close to the fitting like mine do. They've got 1k halfway up the tip section with reinforcing around the bottom of the tip joint, with 1k all throughout the butt section.
They ain't moody Trebs as they're the same as the 13ft jobs I was arsing around with in Angling Direct in the summer. Not that it's a big thing at all, they're just rods.

A few photos should clear it up for you, a few people with good rod blank knowledge on here.
