hiding. somewhat insulted and shocked that he thinks he can just show up

Apologies didn't notice the date, but I will let the post stand just in case.
I'd feel pretty bad if he pops back up and someone else is taken advantage of...
I really do like the varnish idea though as I put shellac on my cork grips and
they did become hard and slippery. Keeping the grips nice
brought up this old topic for two reasons - first to show off my results
over the winter with spar varnish on cork and shellac on twine wraps (it
was brown twine, chosen to accent the spalted look of the varnished cork)
Nice work Ron.
I just shellacked my bar tape but for next time, any specific suggestions on
which type of spar varnish?

I have some fancy stuff around, Sutherland Welles, but plain old Helmsman
available at hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. is very good spar
varnish. If you buy varnish, you also want to get some kind of inert gas
like Bloxygen (you don't need this with shellac or the U-40 sealant). Pour
yes, beautiful and great idea. i don't use cork grips, but im wondering how
this would work on cloth tape. now i shellack them and while i like the
look and the weather resistance, the hardness is not ideal. have you tried
the spar varnish over cloth?

drew, I've never tried but it should work, and the U-40 should, as well.
Shellac is hard, but Varnish or U-40 will be tough and flexible.

btw, propane is an inexpensive substitute for Bloxygen, in case you have a
gas grill or camp lantern.

Thanks, friend. I failed to mention how the varnish instantly highlights
the rings and spalted texture of the cork - IMO, makes it gorgeous.

At San Antonio's Siclovia (cyclovia to everyone else) her cork grips got
so far I've left mine natural because I see the shellac flake (yuk). The

Philip,
Spar varnish should work great because its flexible, but I think you would

I have varnished cork grips before, it did come out nice but here in
upstate NY it took about 10 days to get it all done. It was inside in the
winter so I had the time, came out nice though.

Thanks. Your pictures of the varnished grips are the best looking cork grips
I've seen.
