Hi guys,

Noobie question here - am looking at using an EVA fighting butt like this one http://www.mudhole.com/Rod-Building/Fighting-Butts/SGFBF-2-Tone-Fighting-Butt-for-Split-Grips" rel="nofollow - http://www.mudhole.com/Rod-Building/Fighting-Butts/SGFBF-2-Tone-Fighting-Butt-for-Split-Grips , have only used the rubber one in the past, is the principle the same?

Buy one that is larger than the blank OD and fill it up?
Or should it be done like an EVA grip and smaller than OD and squeeze it on with epoxy?

Cheers

Buy as close to the Blank diameter as you can (slightly under if possible) and use epoxy as you say.
