Hi all,
Could someone point me towards the plastic film used to protect cork grips, I presume it's some kind of heat shrink? Cheers Jason Re: Protective film on cork

Jason,
Are you looking for a temporary plastic cover to protect the cork until the customer removes it, as with many store-bought rods, or a (semi) permanent plastic cover? If the latter, Michael’s suggestion may be a good one or McMaster Carr carries it. I use a short piece of the McMaster Carr clear heat shrink tubing in lieu of a butt cap on many of my FW builds with cork, CF or birch bark grips. As for a temporary cover, I haven’t a clue (U-Line?). Mark Talmo FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE.

My comment was made assuming a temporary protection. If "permanent," I don't understand the need. The only "plastic film used to protect cork grips" that I know of is that stuff that the rods in Walmart have on their grips. If there is a need to protect the grips while demonstrating rods, maybe U40 Cork Sealant would do the job. Re: Protective film on cork

Sorry, I should have said it's for temporary film to protect and keep clean new grips. Re: Protective film on cork

Enjoy the rod , if it gets dirty , use Magic Eraser ? Th cork handles are there, because they feel good. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
