Given the relatively poor current state of cork rings, I'm looking for a hint or two about the best way to fill cork pits. I checked the archives but nothing definitive jumped out. I tried it once before with crazy glue but wasn't impressed with the results. Any hints?

There's a wood filler colored "golden oak" ....I believe several companys make it and that color works well on cork. You can find it at your local hardware store, just fill the pits, let dry, sand.

Try Epoxy and cork dust from the handle you are filing. Works well for me.

I use both of the methods above. "Elmer's" Carpenter's Wood Filler Golden Oak is my choice.

when using cork dust and epoxy you might want to ad a little white paint pigment to lighten it up a bit........

Try cleaning any dust off before filling, then after sanding clean well and seal to help prevent it from pealing off.

Be sure that you use an "exterior" filler, as "interior" ones don't last long. No surprise there, but if used the wrong kind once, as I did, it's amazing how fast it "unfills".

I like either slow-cure epoxy or Titebond III, the waterproof one. Titebond I & II are not. Mix in as much cork dust from 100 grit and finer as the adhesive will hold and pack the holes tightly leaving a little excess to sand smooth & flush with the surface of the cork after it cures completely. This is usually almost, almost the same color as the rest of the cork. IMO, close enough to the color of the grip as to need no additional coloring. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.
