Cork seal or not??

I built a couple new grips today and inserted some accents rings using hobby foam. I tested soaking some foam in water for a while, and there didn't appear to be any absorption. I don't mind the cork seal, but would prefer not to use it if I don't have too. What say the experts here. Does the foam absorb or will it absorb moisture over time, and should I seal the grips?
Thanks Harold Re: Cork seal or not??

cork seal is normally used to protect from dirt. grime, etc. Cork doesn't absorb moidture either. It's really a matter of personal preference Mike (Southgate, MI) If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!! Re: Cork seal or not??

EVA and similar foam are closed cell materials - they do not readily absorb water.
