Default Old fiberglass rod

The windings are pretty beat, the
guides a bit bent and the reel rough. I want to clean it up. I can fix
the reel, certainly. A few new bearings and a good dose of CLP and
we'll be on the way. The fiberglass is another issue. Do you guys have
any recommendations for good books on repair of rods? I tried the roff
archives and found Dale Clemens "Fiberglass Rod Making," but it is
long-since out of print and $40 on Amazon. Any other suggestions for
instructions?

Under $14 w/shipping on ebay.
The memories it gave you were obviously important enough for you to
hold on to it all these years. Surely it still has a few left in it
for your son.
Though it is only a Zebco and you may soon want to move him up to a
"big guy's fishing rod", working on it together, getting ready for the
fishing season with him may end up being a memory that will last a
lifetime, not only for him but for you.
I envy you your task.

Kiyu
