Cork and eva

I just finished building and turning my first cork grip, and it tuned out nice. Now my question is, what glue to use if you want to introduce some Eva into your cork grips? I used title bond 2 on the cork.

There is a thread just below where the same topic is covered. Scroll down just a bit and see if you can find what you need in there.

Titebond is not appropriate for EVA, use epoxy adhesive. Titebond 2 is not waterproof, better to use titebond 3 on cork or wood.

The best way to mix eva and cork is weldwood contact cement. Use 2 thin coats on each piece and let it dry completely.
