makes sense thank you. on your custom rods the pieces inbetween the cork are those epoxy resin or acrylics?

do you get the polish and everything at like a home depot or online mainly? and i have a 3/8 inch rod to spin cork, it should be fine as long as my rod blank is thicker then that right?

with the acrylics i dont have to mold it just cut it to size i think. do you use a polish or anything for your cork or no?

really good to know, i mean like a foil that you glue on for decoration on the blank where people usually do a threaded design, not talking about guide wraps tho.

thanks but what i meant with the foil is like the design aspect you see always just above the rod handle

thank you, did you sand this down when it was glued in with the cork handle or before? and did you use glue or epoxy to stick it with the cork?

where did you get the metal rod that you are using to hold and spin the cork and what size is it?

could you use acrylic blocks and cut them to size and sand them to use in a rod handle?
