About two weeks ago, I refinishied and rewrapped two old split bamboo surf rods for a guy. I put Carsons water based CP over the wraps and 24 hrs later used Threadmaster one finish, about three coats applied 12 - 24 hrs apart. After about two weeks curing time I called the customer and told him his rods were ready. He was supposed to pick them up on Friday so I put them out on my side screen porc

Jeremy, You are correct; the rubber cement only acts as a lubricant, and slick it is! You won't believe how well the grip slides down the rod blank with only minimal effort.

I use the media by Papilio for ink jet printers and cover my decals with Papilio clear-coating type LLA5000 UV protective coating spray, at least two coats.

Aaron, If you want an EVA rear grip in black to fit that blank order a RG14A12B by American Tackle. It has an .750 ID and should slide into place with little or no reaming. Check out this method of gluing EVA grips. A real time saver for this tedious task. American Tackle Pro Staff

Bill, I just posted the results photo of a logo under permagloss on a EVA grip so you could see the resulting line. James

Hi Bill - Sorry for the delay. I was never completly happy with the result that i got, however it was acceptable. I taped off the EVA and used some Perma gloss by U40 along the tape line which didn't seem to soak under quite as bad as the high build that i was using. Make sure you remove the tape BEFORE the perma glass is completly dry. James

Billy, I still coat the blank where the grip is going to land with epoxy. I just find that the grip glides with the rubber cement better than epoxy and the clean up is a snap.
