I got a pretty good size divot where my index finger touches the cork on my

cork filler on the market, or can you make it yourself? Been to the hardware
store, wood filler (not sure if that will do), but no cork filler.

Use wine bottle corks and a shoe rasp or any course file to make a pile
of cork dust. I have used RTV ( silicone rubber ) to make a paste that
firms up pretty well. roughen up the hole and apply the goop. I have
used this to make entire handles. The RTV caulking comes in several
colors. It makes good rod handles and gives you an excuse to collect
corks.
