There is a drop of epoxy in the guide on my new 7'6 H casting rod. It makes the inside of the guide have a slight flat space. It is the second guide from the reel and not on the rod side of the guide so I don't think it will ever have line pulled tight across it, but I'm wondering if the epoxy might crack/chip and harm the mono one day. Could I try to melt it off the Aluminum oxide guide or just leave it be? Thanks, Randy

LIGHTLY heat the affected area with a heatgun or blow dryer. You want to heat the epoxy, not the whole guide and don't get the blank hot. Should then peel right off.

If it is not changing anything just leave it. Tell your friends that it is a custom "fast cast" spot and helps attract fish
