What type of glue can I use to fix a broken cork handle? Any help would be great!

Well....I can tell you what not to use. I tried wood glue once and it never seemed to set up. Every time it got wet it would get sticky. Haven't had to use the rod lately so I don't know what to tell you besides what not to use.

Two part epoxy. Mix sawdust in there if you have a chunk missing.

Ditto.
Extended my rod handle last year and used two part epoxy to cement everything back together and has worked flawlessly. Make a jig with a couple 2 x 4's and threaded rod and set it overnight. Should have no problems.

I found some 60 sec 2 part epoxy which made it hard stuff to work with but it worked like a charm. I had the rod out Saturday and no problems! Thanks guys!
