Update on an earlier post:
I drilled two holes on opposite sides, at right angles to the blank, one to inject glue, the other to relieve air pressure. I went into a burnt cork accent ring to just touching the blank, then finished with a bodkin. The hole dia was just smaller than the syringe tip to ensure a tight fit. I then mixed Flexcoat epoxy, heated it with a hair dryer, pulled it into a FC syringe, then quickly injected it into the hole until it backed up. I pushed burnt cork sanding dust into the holes, just above the grip surface (I'll sand flush once dry), hung the rod up on my rack and waited a day. I just checked the grip...I'll be damned... IT WORKED !! Thanks for the great advice guys...much appreciated !! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
