A simple question: What type of glue is appropriate for glueing together cork sections and handle on blank?
Epoxy, PU-Glue or wood glue for outdoor use? - Occasional amateur rod wrapper - Re: Cork Handle - what glue

Titebond III for cork. I use 15min epoxy for grips.

Like Dan, I use Titebond III for gluing cork rings together. If I am going to mix some rubberized rings in with the cork I will used a two part epoxy to glue the rubberized ring to the adjacent natural cork.
I find that regular 2 part epoxies work best for components that have a snug fit, for example, a multi part reel seat, I'll use a 15 min epoxy to glue up those components. Cork to blank, the gel or paste type of epoxies work best here. You may already know this, I would recommend that you scuff the parts with sand paper prior to gluing them up. Epoxies bond the best when they have a rough surface to "grab" onto. Re: Cork Handle - what glue

I use PLIOBOND (contact cement) for stacking and bonding cork rings. I use a thin coat, stack the cork rings on a teflon rod and clamp for best results.
For bonding the cork to the blank I use Loctite 0151, 2 part epoxy, but any 2 part epoxy should be acceptable. Re: Cork Handle - what glue

I did search around for teflon/ptfe mandrels without much luck.
Will old rod sections covered with PTFE tape work? - Occasional amateur rod wrapper - Re: Cork Handle - what glue

Use a steel mandrel, wiped with paraffin wax.

We have a great little short video on our website about gluing up cork handles and reel seats.

All good advice here but some key things to point out:
Titebond is great for cork and burl rings, but not for rubberized rings. Use rodbond or other epoxy for rubberized rings. Make sure your mating surfaces for cork rings are smooth. This will ensure a minimum glue line. Any 2-part epoxy is good for gluing the grip to the blank. Good luck! Terry Re: Cork Handle - what glue

I find that making the handles - Off - the blank works better If you make a boo boo it can be fixed easyer off then on Bill - willierods.com Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
