Thanks for the pictures. I think I know just what you're talking about now. I'd burn a hole through a pair of tennis shoes in a week or two when I was younger and used "Shoe Goo" a lot. It looked just like that and moved/cured the way you describe.

I think I'm going to go with epoxy though for this particular handle. The issue here is the thing is hollow all the way to the bottom and the goop has a slight give to it, at least the stuff I remember using. That would work great on top of a firm base, and I can see how it'd be more forgiving, but I'm going to need to create a base about an inch thick.

It's cleaned up and drilled out now. Just need to wait for the knot I ordered to get here and maybe dremel around the inside once more. I've read people use marine epoxy a lot and I imagine that stuff will work to make a thick, firm base.
