Rob: Re restoring the gloss, I would use Gudebrod rod varnish and put it on with your finger. You might have to put a small trim wrap in place where the varnish would end.
Re altering a Pac Bay cork grip, I successfully use a dremel tool and cut a small amount and check continually until I get it just right. You want it slightly undersize rather than oversize.

I wanted to sand off the manufacturers logo and such and hand letter my own. And I needed to sand down the lacquer they used at the guides. Well, I now have lightly damaged the finish of this rod. It's graphite, and using #320 and 400 sand paper, I doubt that I have done any real damage to the blank. Now, how do I restore the gloss to the rod in those places I am not epoxying over? -- Rob Blomquist Kirkland, WA On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed Linux and lived happily ever after.
