Eye Repair

If the guide is not loose just coat the wrap with varnish, color
preservative should be not necessary because it was applied before..

You guys are all missing the boat here. The guy has lost the ceramic
interior of the guide, not a wrap-problem.

As far as I know he needs to replace the eye itself, exactly the practice
that I plan on learning shortly.

Actually it's not clear if the ceramic guide insert is gone or the
wrapping has lost it's coating, if the ceramic insert is gone the guide
needs to be replaced..

Ahh... don't make too big of a deal of replacing your guide(s) Warren. I
just did one on one of my spinning rods yesterday. I'm not really picky
about how they look, as long as they're functional. All in all, I think it
came out fairly well.

And most tackle shops will replace it for about $10 plus cost of guide.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. If the ceramic insert fell out of
the guide, it needs to be replaced. You can try to do this without
rewrapping, but the repair won't be as reliable as doing it the right way.

I guess the problem is I don't know what an "eye" is.
