[QUOTE="CRS, post: 494749, member: 21726"] I build rods, not professionally but for family and me. The best course of action would be to strip everything off the blank. There are articles on the internet about removing the old guides. The reel seat and handles could be epoxied on so sanding and scraping will be necessary to remove all traces. Being a glass blank it could be polished to improve the appearance after all the sanding. Once you have a bare blank locate the spine order the guides and components and get to building. Mud Hole is a very good source for all your rod building needs and instruction. [/QUOTE]
