I have started making a split Tennessee handle using a PacBay graphite color foam arbor. I applied the woven graphite to the arbor material. It appears to be a little harder, more resistance to denting with a finger nail, than the foam in my usual CFX handles that I use. So far, I have not clear coated over the top of this set of grips. I might try using them without the clear coat this time. I have one I made last year that has sat around the shop for a year and played around with and it has been fine so far.

Is there any reason this will not work?

It will work just fine. In fact I have a set of grip components that I believe came from PacBay made from that material. I got them at the Expo a few years back, but never got around to skinning them. The only downside is that

By the way, I like your style. A split TN handle in carbon fiber is the way to go.

It's pretty much the same stuff. The PacBay material is simply a bit more dense than whatever type poly foam that CFX uses.
