Craft Foam Trim Bands

I posted this to help those building custom cork grips.
Found out something interesting about using craft foam for trim bands. If you happen to buy the foam with the sticky back/paper peel, don't use Titebond 3 glue. Had my grip break off at the band while sanding. Then the other band broke free. Went with regular rod builders epoxy and now it's like an iron bond. Hope this helps.
