Grip Repair - Cork Filler

[River Chatter]

Surprised to see this thread spring to life again!  In the end I decided not to fill the handle on my rod before selling it.  I just took some close up pictures and 'fessed up to the scabby nature of the rod handle and pointed the finger at Hardy.  Turned out to be a good decision as it fetched a decent price anyway.    Having said that I've got another rod that could do with a bit of TLC on the handle so might just use the advice so freely and generously offered on this thread yet!
