flex coat on cork?

Just wondering if anyone has put flex coat on a cork handles?
Slippery when wet?
does it crack after use?
Pros & cons
Thanks Joe

Re: flex coat on cork?

I actually fixed one of my handles with it. Not on the grip though. the cork on the screw lock that holds my reel busted and I covered the whole thing with flex coat. It works great. I can tell you that despite its gloss, its not that slippery, but I don't know if that would be the case on the handle itself. I tend to hold my rod with my 2 forefingers on the screwlock, ring finger on the trigger, and thumb behind the reel and haven't had any slippage.......yet. Hope this helps.

Jay
