Duplon or Jap shrink wrap?

Magic Eraser (which is a mild abrasive) is the answer for cork . . .might work on Jap Shrink without damaging it . . ?

Sorry if the title was misleading. The only place for cork is in the end of a wine bottle

I mean full duplon wrapped handles

Thanks lads

I know I was only asking as I had shrink wrapped cork handles and took it off it's rubbish imo and treat them with gun oil

Unless he's amended it since first posting, the title says shrink wrapped rods

Warm soapy water and a toothbrush or diluted bleach was how we used to clean off cork handles

As per title. The close season is already driving me mad and I need a distraction from spending ridiculous amounts of money on new gear (I've probably already spent £1000). I have started to clean and de clutter all my gear.

What is the best way to clean shrink wrap handle on rods? They are not badly dirty, just need a little spruce up!

Cheers Lads
