Super User J Francho Posted January 29, 2013 Super User Posted January 29, 2013 Alcohol wipes are a good thing to have in the boat anyway, with all the little pokes and scratches you get in a day of fishing. It's good to have something to clean a wound with. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted February 19, 2013 Super User Posted February 19, 2013 From what I see, Cabelas is the only place that carries this stuff. Does anyone know of another retailer that sells it? Google only showed Cabelas and Ebay. I'll check the local Cabelas the next time i'm there. Just so happens that whenever I "need" something, they never have it. So I end up buying $50 worth of lures instead. Quote

Assuming you are referring to the U40 cork sealant? ... if so TheTackleTrap carries the product for $5.99. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted March 8, 2013 Super User Posted March 8, 2013 What do you apply the sealer with? Can do it with an old toothbrush (what a rod builder told me, and what I use). Quote
HookSetDon Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 would a retail store sell this u-40 sealer? or a specialized hardware store? Purchasing online and shipping to Canada can be a headache. I have some rods that need some TLC. Thanks Quote

Purchasing online and shipping to Canada can be a headache. I have some rods that need some TLC. Thanks I found mine at a local tackle shop where they happen to build/repair rods. If you have anything like that around you, may be a good place to check. Otherwise you may have to order online.... Quote
bassh8er Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Yup. This product is the only reason I'll go to Cabela's Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted March 8, 2013 Super User Posted March 8, 2013 What do you apply the sealer with? Any standard size paint brush will work fine that one would use to paint with watercolors. One small note is that you don't want to get the sealer on the blank or the "non-cork" portion of the rod. If you do wipe off with a towel or papertowel. I did around 30 rods with it and have well over a a 1/2 bottle left. Quote

Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 8, 2013 Super User Posted March 8, 2013 Netcraft has been carrying U-40 cork sealer for many years. Inexpensive and it goes a long way. I usually just apply it with a folded piece of paper towel. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 8, 2013 Super User Posted March 8, 2013 What do you apply the sealer with? A small paint brush. Wipe the excess off with a paper towel. Quote
BrettD Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Like everyone is saying put 1 very light coat on and thats it. I use a cheap foam paint brush from home depot for like 50 cents. Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted March 8, 2013 Super User Posted March 8, 2013 You know they used to cover perfectly good couches with plastic back in the 60s... Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted March 8, 2013 Super User Posted March 8, 2013 I look at the grime as a pretty good cork preservative. When it starts to get sticky a little soapy water, a soft cloth and back to fishing. oe Quote
