Found a 1 1/2 " gasket plug cutter to cut the rings for a grip. But what do I use
to shape the grip, same as cork. Coures file and sand paper! I assume the center bore would be the same type of fit as cork or should it be slightly undersize! what is the best adhesive for mounting finished grip to blank, rod bond, 2 part epoxy ect ! Yes I did read the article in Vol 11-Issue 3 its just my first time using EVA Have done many shaded thread wraps, so just had to try this one. Re: Shaded EVA grip

EVA shapes easily with coarse sandpaper (finish up with finer grades up to about 320 or so).
Rod Bond is excellent for bonding the EVA to the blank, as are most 2-part epoxies. ................ Re: Shaded EVA grip

This tool chomps away at EVA like NOW! Use it to rough shape even compound curves and finish with sanding stix.

Maybe it's time for me to "borrow" my wife's Pedegg. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
