Regular nylon, no cp. I really only use cp on dec wraps.

Finish is a mixture of threadmaster and pro-kote, ~60:40 tm to pk.

I got rid of the grip tape which enabled me to get the 20mm shrink over it. Butt cap on as well. Probably a little while before I get back to it. Current weight with the handle on it.

Cork tape and 3m grip tape over it. I screwed up the only 1" shrink that I had so it will have to wait a bit until I get it.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure about what I'm going to do. I want to keep the weight down but I think the butt will need a little more than cork tape and shrink will provide.
