I am a member of a fishing forum, there was a post yesterday by a member who I guess is around 40 (not a callow youth).
He has a fishing rod that he says the cork handle has termite damage and how can he repair it.
Accompanying photo shows a few woodworm holes
Someone suggested mixing fine cork dust with glue and pushing it into the holes and letting it dry before sanding. Which I thought was good advice.
The OP then asked where he could buy cork dust from
Several replies later a wine cork was suggested.
Then he wanted to know which glue?
There were a number of replies and an argument broke out about the best glue to use, funny thing was several responders were arguing about different brands but all were actually talking about PVA and none of them seemed to know this.
I was tempted to have a little
stir but resisted.
