Just help my friend to replace the broken cork grip to his custom Winston Boron IIx for a small fee. The existing cork grip was broken at the center portion. Sign of wearing off and instead of repairing, he wanted it replaced.
I stacked and glued the cork rings separately. It will be easier for me to lathe and shape the cork grip. I removed the old cork grip and scrap the glue residue off the blanks.
After shaping the cork grip and patching up work, the rod blank was inserted into the cork grip and glued with slow setting epoxy.
A few layers of
U40 Cork Seal was applied to the cork grip and a rod winding check was added to finish off the rod handle.
