Custom Spinning Rod Handle – Epoxy Question

    To the pro rod builders out there. I am building a couple rods with custom cork rings handles and would like to turn them directly on the blank. I know using Titebond III is ideal for gluing rings to create a minimal seam, however, that won’t work in this situation. Has anyone used the Titebond Polyurethane Glue to apply to both cork rings and the blank? It looks like it has a very strong strength rating and should sand down well with minimal lines but I don’t know if it will bond as well as a 2 part epoxy. If not, looks like I’ll resort to the Flexcoat Rod Builders Glue.

    Any advice is much appreciated.

    All I have ever used since it come out is Gorilla Glue 5 minute 2 part epoxy.

    You may want to use a 30 minute epoxy to give you more time to adjust pieces !
