Tips for Gardiner pole repair

Hi, just wondering if there is a best way to fix the end section of my pole. A type of glue to use? Replacement part?

It looks like I could just epoxy it back in place.

Would have been my first guess… Thanks.

Dual component adhesives provide a solid bond. Alex Gardiner has a couple of instructional videos that clearly explain the process.

Yep simple fix, just make sure it’s really clean so the Epoxy has a good bond. As mentioned there are videos from Alex G. I had my first repair on a Gardiner carbon fiber a few months back… we’ve had it over 5 years. So I wasn’t complaining lol they hold up really well :wink::+1:

I have definitely put this pole through abuse over the years. I bought clear JB Weld and just followed the instructions for preparing the repair surfaces. Seems to be as strong as ever.
