m427 rung with kwags

[LiamNE]

Another backing here for John.
Appreciate must be frustrating as hell but I'd just speak to him and go from there.

John has been around too long to be dodgy mate. He's as genuine as anyone on here, and I'm sure if you have had spoken to him about your concerns he would have done something for you.

I don't think its fair to come straight on the forum and moan without at least speaking to him first.

Ill second that Johns a top bloke and before moaning on here you should have spoken to the lad first.

[lead chucker]

Well that's easy for you to say your not down £230, never mind all I have said is what happened. Anybody recommend a product to seal it up.

[lead chucker]

This thread could be closed I think now.

This is total bollocks I built this rod the whole rod was strip back and bondasealed iv built 40 50 rods with bondaseal and not 1 complain , and I'm hearing this right u went to bed and woke next morning and it was flaking pmsl , I used the rod 5 times and I'm sure John used it around the same and no flaking for us !!!

hi kieth it was the 427 su i bought off you brilliant rod and build not this standard 427

and would buy any rod off you mate.

the 427 i sold for 230 i paid 270 for it

the su i paid 290 and sold it for 280 as was mint and same condition when i sold it.

i got the 427 off ebay and was told it wasnt a rebuild but i am gullable.i get bored wth same gear so i swap and change plus i dont gain in selling

40 quid loss on 427 over a few months and buyer was shown rod in daylight just ,i told buyer it wasnt mint hence selling for 230 not like the su at 280 .

what more can a person do but let the buyer have a good view of the rod.

i actualy got a text off big phil saying his m8 was over the moon with the rod and i still have that text. i used the rod half a dozen times myself and rod was in exactly same condition as when i bought it to when i sold it.

and people keep saying to me why are you on about packing in load of crap.

just cannot be bothered wth this ****.

[lead chucker]

John I like the rod, but as I've said the sealant has blown after one session, but I and surely you must think this is very strange. I cleaned the rod down with baby wipes as I always doo and put it back in car. Next day phil came to pick his gear up and we noticed it had blown its sealant. It was a wet night on Friday. Anyway I've had some advice from lads on how and what to repair it with. John its just life but I wouldn't buy from that bloke again.

[mark chip]

I can only speak as i find , john robson is very honest decent fella i,ive had a lot of dealings with him over last 13 years and never once was his gear anything but perfect ,unless stated so the john i know would be mortified to have this happen to a rod he,d sold he wouldnt knowingly sell anything iffy im baffled by this ,this felt i had to say something as i find johns character impeachable

[lead chucker]

Oh well it just goes to show when you buy second hand you never know what your going to get in the long run.

[mark chip]

Incidently leadchucker ive stripped a lot of blanks over the years and struggle to remove the last remnants of highbuild residue off rods n used to take days scraping with fingernail and i found out accidently by rubbing with a dettol wipe that i could remove residue in 30seconds what previously took me hours i wonder if there is something similar in babywipes which has caused this in a non standard rod finish as i would assume baby wipes would be fine on factory finish ,id hope they would anyway

[endurothumpers]

Oh well it just goes to show when you buy second hand you never know what your going to get in the long run.

Had a few through my hands that looked like that turned out to have been sprayed with car lacquer then when you rub your nail up it the just flakes off

[john/r]

realy i am annoyed at this as a phone call to me realy could of been done.

now the rod has been buildt by stan parkin a hell of a rod builder like many we have up here and i dont want stan to come on this thread as no way on this planet is his work faulty.

i have said rod when sold it was in same condition as when i bought it ,i bought it off ebay and when i got it i did notice some flaking of varnish or whatever you call it and i did show and mention it to buyer when he bought it.

so realy what is been said is i am a cheat liar as i must of revarnished rod or summit after varnish has been coming off over 6 or 7 times i have used it, realy thats what is realy been said.

why ask for thread to be closed dont understand that at all .

may i ask how do i try to revarnish over a rod wth flaking varnish because i just have not got a clue.

[fish fingers]

Oh well thats me sacked if it is my fault! I had to ask my son which rod it was as I.ve done that many but can honestly say I do.nt no if I done anything with the blank as I.ve never had any problems with the bondaseal b4 I would have to see the rod in question to see if anything had been done with it as it seems to have changed a few hands since I built it I guarantee my work to a certain degree if it is my fault I would rectify it free of charge as I do.nt want anybody falling out over my shoddy workmanship looks like thats my rodbuilding down the pan from now better don the building and hanyman gear again
