Solid Black EVA Ring

A couple years ago, I bought a couple 1 3/8 or 1 1/2 inch EVA discs that I used as a butt piece on a couple rods. I'm looking for those again as I don't like the slide on rounded butts you get for EVA grips. I haven't been able to find them and was hoping that someone could steer me to them.

Thanks!

Another way to close off an EVA grip, which works best with small diameter blanks, is to install the grip with an overhang off the end of the blank, using a slightly longer grip. Then just plug the hole, like with a cork pistol grip, with a small disc of EVA and contact cement. The EVA disc, depending on size, can be cut from scrap or old grip material.

I do it like Ted on the smaller blanks. Extend the grip out a little and plug it. Looks like it was born that way.

Seems like a good option. Maybe on my next EVA handle. Too late on my current. Oh well.
