Burl Cork Tape on??

Have a request to build an Ice Rod with burl cork that he wants to tape reel on. I have worked very little with burl cork and am wondering if It will handle tape? Will the cork hold up?
Thanks! Marcus

Most burl type cork will handle tape without chunks pulling out. A few of the older types might have issues. But most of what is out there now will be fine.

Warming the tape up with a hair dryer makes it easier to come off.
