That thread wrap thing is a cool idea, too.

I put the U40 Cork Seal on the first rod I made and it tooka rather blah piece of cork with very little to it that was interesting at all and really brought out the burl. The difference was like night and day.

I have a whole bunch of rather plain cork grips and wanted to dress them up a bit. That's what got me thinking about this. I have, on occasion, used spirit dyes to tint leather carvings. I was thinking it might be possible to do something similar with cork.

Anything to dress up the normally blah grip.
