While I've never tried beeswax, oil or similar, I also dislike the hard, slick results that three or more fresh coats of shellac produce, so here's my solution.
Try brushing on a coat of shellac, let it dry fully (doesn't take long), then knock it back with a rag soaked in denatured alcohol. Repeat once or twice more. What you end up with is a shellacked cork grip which feels like it has seen regular use for a year or so, i.e. still tactile, not as spongy as raw cork, but not as slick and hard as the full treatment. A nice happy medium, especially if you ride gloveless. Jeff Hagedorn Warragul, VIC Australia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
