Searching the archives, I found two posts by Lee Parsons and John Bratton, that describes Staples Wood Tone Putty. I tried E-mailing these two individuals to find out where I can buy this putty, but the E-mails came back as undeliverable.

I am trying to find out who makes Staples Wood Tone putty?
and where I can buy it? I live in Southern California. I am hoping that someone can give me a lead to tracking this item down. I spent hours making a cork handle and grip for my new rod. Unfortunately when I sanded it down to a smaller diameter, a bunch of holes appeared. Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

John Mantele

do a search on this board for cork filler you will find out what your looking for basicly all you need is the cork dust u sanded off with some clear elmers wood glue and u now have a cork filler
after you let it dry sand with fine grade paper ie: 600-800 grit
then use the Trondak-40 cork seal this should help ..tight wraps

John,

For filling minor pitts in cork, I like to use "Fix" brand wood filler, in the light mahogany color. Give it a try and see what you think.
