The ping pong ball is a mold that basically stays in. I've seen a kayak that used them. Looked like a commercially done job. The glass/epoxy over the ball is what makes it strong and it's easy to do - similar to what you're doing but easier. The epoxy putty and glass lock in the rod at the same time. Once done, the paddler I saw just painted the inside of the ball with a black epoxy mix to make it look good. I suppose you could dissolve it out later but why bother.
