In stead of buying a finished butt cap I want to make a butt out of some glued-together grinded cork. Does any of you guys have a say about what type of glue to use and/or how to do ideas? Thanks Kim

Hello all you rod wrapping specialists over there, - is there anyway to avoid that the coating tends to accumulate around the middle of the wrapping. I use standard 2part epoxy and turning the rotating speed up or down doesn't seem to make any noticable difference. Kim Hermann Denmark
