[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]While the ol' man is getting into building rods, he is coming up with some cool ideas and suggestions.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]One that he is doing now, you got a rod and the cork looks like it is falling apart. TRUE OIL the stuff for gun stocks(sp). Take a coffee filter (no dust or lint) put the true oil on it and wipe your cleaned cork. Keep adding coats with a scuff with very fine sandpaper or steelwool. This will fill in the holes. You can leave it shinny cause it really isn't slippery or you can scuff the last coat for a mat finish. It is really cool.[/size][/black][/font]
