Thread: Rust under the rubber grip

You can re-fashion a new grip with a product called Sugru - I have a photo of one I did somewhere and will attach it when found. Sugru is ideal because it bonds to the metal and creates its own seal - although a clear varnish underneath would not do any harm.

Edit - here it is - the 6/8" was the one with Sugru. It has a working time of about 30 minutes so I moulded it roughly to shape, added indentations with a small steel rule and when it was set overnight, finished off with a 1200 grit paper. It really does have lots of uses
