I'm going to fill some between ring cracks in an older cork handle with oil-based wood putty... any words of wisdom or warning?

    I've never done the rings specifically, but when I repair old handles, I always tape off right at the ring/reel seat. Makes cleanup a lot easier and gives a nice sharp line. I use Elmers golden oak wood filler to fill in any cracks. I lightly sand it a bit after it dries, then I just wipe it down, and cover it with U40. I've been happy with the results.
