To resolve my ongoing challenge of finding large rubber cork plugs and my inherent lack of fine motor skills to cut my own (can't get the darn things round...), I think I have a solution in either coin or "bubble sticker" inlays. My local supplier (Thorne Bros) sells a rubber ring that has a place for an inlay already machined out that fits a penny size coin perfectly. When they build for customers they use their own logo stickers which would look nice if they built the rod but odd on a rod I build for a customer. So my question is, where can I purchase custom stickers like the ones they use (link below, sorry if I broke forum rules) and where can you purchase decorative coins or etched aluminum the size of a penny? Thanks in advance for your help!!

Those look amazingly like the ball markers used in golf. Chris Richer Iroquois ON Re: Coin or "Bubble Sticker" Butt Cap Inlays

I use a 3/4" paper punch and try make my own. Print the image/logo that I need, punch it, spray it with fixative, use adhesive spray to adhere it and then a small amount of epoxy to protect it.
Works great and can be as custom and you want it. That's how I do all mine. [www.rodbuilding.org] Thanks, Chad Huderle Huderle Custom Rods Prior Lake, MN Re: Coin or "Bubble Sticker" Butt Cap Inlays

Chris - it is similar but is printed on an adhesive sticker and it has a rubber "bubble" finish to it.
Chad - i like those, do you apply them on a flat butt or recessed? Re: Coin or "Bubble Sticker" Butt Cap Inlays

Nate, I adhere them to a 3/4" metal disc and then that is inlaid an 1/8" or so. (Hint, the metal disc is a US penny with one side sanded flat.) :) Thanks, Chad Huderle Huderle Custom Rods Prior Lake, MN Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
