Late season repairs

Pulled the Rainshadow 1088 out of truck last night after a night of pilot error and equipment failures.... Lost the ring out of tip top guide trying unsuccessfully to free a Salty's blurple needle with glow eyes from the rocks in a big surf.... So while it is on the rod lathe, I need to do something about the void I've worn though the cork tape when casting. Any suggestions? This will be just to get it through the Derby. I will attempt to replace the whole grip above the reel seat this winter.
