    Re: Cleaning cork handles (wompuscat)

    http://www.mudhole.com its around 5.oo and you can do many many handles with the one can, its called U-40 cork seal. Make sure you do not put more than one coat on your handles,more is better does not apply in this case, the second coat will NOT absorb and will make the handle have a haze to it. Hope this helps.

    <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Cooney &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I know it's not cleaning, but...last month in bassmaster there was a tip that I picked up... fill holes or cracks in cork with wood putty and light sand. Go to electrical supply store and pick up 1" - 1 1/2" heat shrink and slide this over your handle then heat with heat gun or lighter. This makes a awsome handle and it's tough. You will get 6 pieces to a pack for $10. two packs did 12 rods. </TD></TR></TABLE>

    Not a bad idea, but as an electrician I must warn people who try this, make sure the heat shrink tubes are not rated for underground use! They are filled with a water sealant that works like glue, and it will ease out each end when you shrink it down, not to mention make it a mess if you ever want to take it off or replace it.
