			<description><![CDATA[ there are a lot of ways to skin this little kitty.  i do it by hand. first sight down the rod to make sure all the guides are lined up perfectly. check to be
sure the flats are running straight to the tip top. a lot of old rods will have twists in them. they appear as bends. close inspection might reveal a twist.
straighten that first. be careful as we all know that twisting cane is a fairly dangerous practice.  that will take out a lot of &quot;sets&quot;.  then try to
take out the... ]]></description>

I appreciate it and look forward to my soon first build from blank.

			<description><![CDATA[ what bob said. it is an easy enough repair, but for someone who is experienced with cane. i would not advise you to practice taking out sets on a payne rod.  i
don&#39;t charge for taking out sets. find a maker or restorer near you and let them do it..
<br>
   dwyndal, i would take the set out with the varnish on, then strip. you need to be careful in heating up tips. the varnish will help to keep you from drying
the cane out (and burning) as you heat it, and then help keep the heat in as you... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sorry to resurrect this thread but it has all the info i was looking for but I am curious of one thing. The rod i have has a slight half inch play bend at the
tip, i am going to restore the whole rod so my question is; should i look into fixing the bend first then stip the rod or strip the rod and then fix the bend?
<br>
<br>
Thanks

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a kind of bean bag affair that goes in the Microwave for sore muscles that is ideal for this - called a &quot;Bed Buddy&quot;. Just heat it up, wrap it
around the rod, then set it gently between two books so that the counter-bend works for you, leave it about twenty minutes, then check it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello,
<br>
<br>
I have to straighten out most of my old bamboo rods each season undoubtedly due to my offcenter semi spey old fashioned way of casting that puts a bit of cant
to my tips.
<br>
<br>
I borrow my wife&#39;s hair blow dryer.  I then make an assessment of the direction of the smooth offset referenced to the guide flat segment.
<br>
I gently and slowly warm (not hot) approximately half of the tip segment, applying heat uniformly along all 6 segments until  the rod feels warm (not... ]]></description>

already &quot;touched&quot; it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was fishing in Michigan on the PM with a group from here in Branson and one guy we met up on at the PM Lodge told me he had an older Orvis rod he&#39;d been
fishing for the chinooks... and when I saw that rod.. my mouth dropped open. I still to this day have never seen a rod with such tip sets... including all the
worst you&#39;ve seen on the ebay.

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes, any qualified rodmaker, restorer or repair person can do this.  There are plenty on here that could help you out.  You can do it yourself, but if you
haven&#39;t done it before, I don&#39;t think I&#39;d try it the first time on a Payne!!!  It requires a certain amount of heat to do it and too little, you
can crack the bamboo bending it... too much, you can scorch varnish, break down the glue or burn the cane, or all of the above.
