Cork Handle Repair.........

[D'ANGLER]

If you can remind me, do you have to reapply the seal after a year?

Some people will reapply after one year to help keep it clean, while others wouldn't dare clean the mojo off their handles for fear of bad luck. Personally I would do it on a new rod build or after sanding a repair to prevent further pitting.

I have used cork dust as mentioned. I also use the sealer on my rods 2X a year.

Cork is an item that we see many issues with. There are different grades and while some may think a place is over priced, its because your getting a better grade and will not have the issues we see on the cheaper grades.

There are a few options as mentioned and most of them will work well.
