I have an Abu Garcia Veritas casting rod which I have really enjoyed. The handle has become unglued from the blank. Garcia has replaced the rod and told me to keep the old one. I'd like to repair the old one. What glue or epoxy do I use? Any other tips?

I have a couple of rods with EVA handle grips where some critter decided to eat small chunks out of it. I'm thinking of filling the holes with something and then using grip wrap or shrink wrap to cover the whole grip. What do I use to fill the EVA? I've though of wood filler but don't know if it will stick to the EVA foam. On another rod the EVA is weathered/dry rotted and am wondering if I need to coat the grip with some sort of sealer/varnish before wrapping so the wrap will stick. Thanks
