biggun Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I just got a bottle of this and want to clean up my old grips and coat them. Does anybody know how long this stuff takes to cure? I have built several rods and have a rod lathe, but I have about 14 rod grips to do. Didn't want to start late and be up half the night.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilpdriverrat Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 It dries in less than an hour although 24 hrs wait time before fishing is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braided Line Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 You can clean (old) dirty cork grips using a Brillo pad. Just get it wet and rub the cork. Doesn`t hurt anything and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I use it as well, and it works great. I wash and clean cork thoroughly. Then let cork dry at least a full day or more. Apply cork seal, and like mentioned dry in a day or two, then ready to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo9992 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I use a toothbrush and degreaser to clean then I use Thompson water seal on it and it last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zib Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I use the U-40 cork sealer on my rods & they have held up great. I've used it for 2 seasons now & cork still looks good. To clean the cork before applying I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with water & the cork cleaned up very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennMc7 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have found that lin seed oil works even better then cork seal and there is no dry time as the line seed oil simply soaks into the cork and it looks much better then cork seal.

Did the linseed oil dry, or remain tacky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
