I think I once read somewhere that the cork dust produced when sanding cork handles can be mixed with a "binder" and used to fill some of the larger / deeper defects in the cork handle.

Is this true? And if so, what should the binder be?

Thanks,

Hi Skip,

I've used Titebond III wood glue mixed to a thickness about like plastic wood.

I use Duco cement for this (Wal~Mart). Be sure and use cork dust from a finer grit of sandpaper, not the coarser. Mix it up and put some (very light coat) Duco into the hole, then add the mix to a level slightly above the surface. Sand smooth after it's dry.

Hi David,

If you are filling to flock the grip, then you might look at a wood filler like Elmer's. It's cheaper, faster and easier.

I use 5 minute epoxy and fine cork dust.
