If you turned the grip yourself you should have plenty of cork dust. If not take piece of 180 to 240 grit sandpaper and lay it flat on a table. Find the worst cork ring you have and holding it flat against sandpaper sand the ring down to produce a fine substrate. Get some Duco Cement which is available at most hardware stores, and place a small dab of adhesive in the pit followed by some cork dust that has been mixed with the cement to form a paste. After the adhesive has dried sand with 400 grit. The Duco Cement is waterproof and it dries clear.
