    Great Question!

    I would also like to know?

    Also , how did you get the paint off the original blank?

    I have an old glass blank that needs to be stripped, and redone.


    Have a great weekend everyone.

    I havn't taken the old paint off yet but I was going to use fine sandpaper to smooth the surface since I was basicly going to paint it the same brown color I found it in. If you are looking for a cork grip with a larger inside diam let me know I have a few left.

    Just sand it till it is smooth, don't go too deep. A good quality spray paint works well. I tried the new "Fusion" paint last time, thought it might be more flexible. The most important thing is to let it set for a couple of weeks to dry, don't get into a hurry! Don't ask how I know this.
