I shellacked my cork grips after googling enough to make me feel it was ok. The look is nice cut I am not happy with what it did to the feel. if my palms get sweaty at all on the bike, then they just feel too slick. I haven't done anything yet, but when we were on vacation I was sure thinking about seeing if there was something to remove the shellac without hurting the cork. And , of course, at that point I saw info saying don't shellac. I wouldn't do it again. I think it undermines part of the reason for the cork grips.
