yes, I use a lot of rod bond products - if you need a flexible epoxy (plugging holes in plastic fenders) theirs is definitely the best. Fly rod builders use U40 to seal their cork. While I knew of the product, I am still happy with spar varnish results on two bikes with cork grips. Is it

I did it for vanity Ryan. I've used the cork grips in their raw state and they end up looking dirty. They probably function better with no coating since the cork maintains it's nice dry texture. I'm sure very few, if any, fishermen shellacked the cork handles on their fishing rods. Ray
