snapperhead 523 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ive heard of guys using cork putty and sanding back to fix cracks in cork grips so maybe that would work for you toocheerssnapps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest lloydy Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 You can use a mixture of epoxy + cork dust (shavings) and build the area back up level, than once completely dry give it a sand so its flush again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leethal 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 How much damage has been done? Is it just a small crack or has part of the cork come away from the blank? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1ONMEPILLIE 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Its about the size of a a 5c piece and about 1/4" deep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leethal 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Fore or rear grip?? May be if it is rear to remove the rear grip altogether and if you can find out what the original is and replace it or you could always cut out a section and get a cork ring to fill the gap.

Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 would be hard to take the grip off completly as rod are built from bottom up I'd be running with the areldite and cork dust or shavings, Adam give Rob Wilson 8261 5455 a call Im sure he'd know what to do, bulids and fixes rods for a living but you'd already know that.Cheers Dubs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
