I'm looking for a glue suggestion to re-attach a rubber butt cap to a cork handle. I'm limited to Walmart or Ace Hardware. (Gorilla glue?)

They are originally glued with epoxy, along with the cork rings that make up the handle.  A double syringe of 5 min epoxy will do the trick.

Thank you Bob.

You can add shaving cream the gel type to get the rubber to slide on the handle.  Just make sure you pour

glue inside the rubber prior to pushing it up on the rod.  Get a push stick that rod crafters use if you don't have one.

YOu can make one in a couple of minutes.  Sometimes you need some one else to hold the rod blank as you push

the rubber into location.  They can push hard.  Make sure you clean up all the old glue and shaving gel with rubbing

alcohol when done.  I use rod builder glue.  Cabelas carries the glue.

Epoxy is your best bet..Gorilla Glue usually foams up and makes a mess.

Loctite 5 min epoxy did the job in spades.

You will be spades for sure if you use too fast a glue in your project.  Normal rod building glue sets up overnight.  You have

to keep an eye on your glue job because sometimes the cork or rubber tries to creep back down the blank taper.  If you use

too quick a glue, you could wind up cutting it off the blank as it set up in the wrong location.  Rod builders glue can be used

as a finish, sometimes when there is a nick, in the rod.  I always used glue to glue down my guides once I had them in the

proper location.  Just a dab does the trick in the location.  Rod builders glue is an epoxy, and cures slowly. I have used it

for all kinds of projects, requiring epoxy.
