WEHA Carbon Fiber Rodding – 1/8 in. x 1/4 in. x 328 ft., Roll
WEHA Carbon Fiber Rodding is a 1/8 in. x 1/4 in. reinforcement rod supplied on a 328 ft. roll for strengthening countertop seams, sink cut-outs and narrow edge sections. It is cut from the roll to any length needed and set into a slot with rodding adhesive.
The rod will not rust or stain the stone, and it bonds to both the adhesive and the stone. Sources disagree on how the profile is built: Weha's own page title carries both "Roll of Carbon Fiber Rodding" and "Roll of Fiberglass Granite Rodding", BB Industries lists it as carbon fiberglass rodding, and Master Wholesale describes the profile as a high concentration of fiberglass strands. Weha's brand term is used here and the disagreement is recorded rather than resolved.

Who Is This For?
Fabricators rodding sink and cooktop cut-outs, seams and thin edge runs in a shop that already cuts its own rodding slots. It suits shops standardized on a 1/4 in. slot; if you cut a deeper slot, the 1/8 in. x 3/8 in. roll (WEH 8160061) is the taller profile in the same family.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size slot does this rodding fit?
The WEHA 1/8 in. x 1/4 in. rodding profile is sized for a 1/4 in. wide slot, which is the kerf cut by the WEHA 5 in. Diamond Turbo Rodding Blade, MPN 50289.
Is this carbon fiber or fiberglass?
Weha sells the product as Carbon Fiber Rodding, but Weha's own page title also calls the same roll fiberglass granite rodding and two distributors describe it as a fiberglass profile. The construction is not consistently published, so treat the brand term as the name rather than as a materials specification.
How long is the roll?
The WEHA rodding roll is 328 ft. long and is cut to length as it is used.
Will the rod rust or stain a countertop?
No. Weha states the rodding will not rust or stain, which is why it is used in place of steel rod in stone countertops.
What adhesive is used to set it?
It is set with a flowing rodding adhesive such as the MVP Polyester Rodding Adhesive, 5 gallon flowing pail (SSP 278-00520-25).
