Pro: they don't discolor with use and the look nice -in either clear or amber shellac Con: shellac on cork grips can be slick as all get out when wet. also if you're wearing a non-grippy wool glove - good luck holding on tightly. I shellac them with clear for a few coats then rough up the surface a bit with some sand paper. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
