Use contact cement it is much more heat resistant than epoxy. The first reamers I made, way back when, I used and old blank peice that I coated in paste epoxy and rolled in coarse grit. These reamers worked fine as long as I reamed by hand. When I used them in a hand drill all the grit came off because of the heat of friction. Since then used sand paper strips applied with contact cement, no problems reaming under power. Hope this helps.

By the way, if you happen to do a lot of rods that have the same size blank and thus need to be reamed out the same, you can now and then find deals on machine shop reamers. Often a shop closes down and sells all of the tooling for a fraction of the new cost.
The new cost of machine shop reamers is rather high, but if you can locate the correct one, a machine shop reamer does a wonderful job reaming and it will never wear out reaming any of the common grip materials like wood, cork, eva etc.
