That looks great! I often use simple olive oil to treat the cork. Gives a nice "ancient" touch and is cheap. It doesn't stink even after longer time ;-) Greetings

Sounds delicious 😎

I use Coconut oil for years works perfect,para

I use coconut unrefined oil or sweet almond oil and it's work)

@AndrewsKnots 3 года назад

Sounds great! I knew that coco oil has plenty of good properties but never tried it on the rod.

@MrAntinsk8 3 года назад

@@AndrewsKnots Yes. I think that Cork Seal is just a combination of some natural oils. They don't write the ingridients on it because everyone would be able to prepare it themselves)))

Interesting. I’ve just finished my first rod build and used waterproof wood glue to seal the handle. It does give a shine as you said, but it seems to work nicely. Is that the Korum surface/floater rod you’ve just opened?

Yes, it's Korum Opportunist 8' 2 lb.

so many of my mates say that is not good using U-40, after coating the handle, the cork still easy dirty after use for fishing, they advice me to use kingdom cork protection, they say the stuff more better, what do you think?

@AndrewsKnots 4 месяца назад

I also use this andrewknots.com/r/RodCorkProtector1 Dry out takes longer but it last longer too.

@peterwilliams8122 3 года назад

Where did you get the sealant from? I cannot find anyone with it.

@AndrewsKnots 3 года назад

There are a few names of substitutes in the description.

@cheesefarmer3545 3 года назад

How about boiled linseed oil?

@AndrewsKnots 3 года назад

Can't comment. Probably would work.

I use decking stain as you can do as lot of colours achrylic will sit on top oil will penetrate no need for Clear coats wash down with sugar soap not dishwashing liquid, dishwashing liquid and other will react with stains sugar soap is best

I think putting sealant over cork handles ruins them, I prefer cork to darken naturally. If cork gets wet, leave the rods out to dry. And now and again you can give the cork a clean with a damp cloth if it needs it and the cork should be fine.

@AndrewsKnots 3 года назад

Yes, cork is hard-wearing stuff on it's own. And sealing/protecting it extends it's life even further.
