[QUOTE="Auggie, post: 336109, member: 237"] Replace the guide. I'd stay away from acetone as it'll likely mess with the finish and structural integrity. A heat gun may work. If it were me, I'd take the super glue put some on a dowel and practice on that before trying a heat gun, boiling, etc... You need to be careful when warming the blank as that can warp the rod. Cutting right below the tip top might be the best. To do this, use a Dremel cutting wheel, but wrap the area being cut in masking tape. That'll prevent the blank from fraying while being cut. When replacing the tip, don't use hot melt glue. That won't hold in the heat of the summer. Use a 5 minute rod epoxy. It'll give you a little bit of time to set the guide properly and if need be, a heat gun will loosen the glue, but it'll hold in the summer. [/QUOTE]
