Have we talked about this product?

You can buy this paint at Home Depot or any hardware store. It's called deck grit or something -- used to make decks safe to walk on when wet. They also use it on rock climbing walls.

Heads up.. my friend used that paint and it tore the hell out of his gloves.. It also sticks to clothing and rips it up a bit..(jersys etc). IMO its too abrasive.

I can't find anything on the web about that paint, but you can also just use normal paint mixed with sand.. same thing. - edit - normal meaning some kind of hardening paint that won't easily flake off.

What happens when this stuff chips off your stick blade and is now all over the ice? I don't think I want to skate over a chip of this stuff for obvious reasons. Idea = practical, reality = not so practical.

I gave a similar product a shot a while back just to see what it was like. Hard to work with and didn't notice any gains in performance. Basically like using the older "grit" '02 Synergy without tape.

To me, the way you guys describe this paint is it's a little like skateboard grip-tape. So you could go buy some, wrap it around the blade and see how that works...I'm not sure that it'd work too well though.

Good point. Fu*&ed up my knee once when I jumped on the ice and put my skate directly onto a band-aid someone had discarded.

Hasn't really slowed the SL sales too much. I don't remember the pain chipping off my blade with this. I'm trying to remember the name of the product, HogTape, or something along those lines.

I was thinking of the grit/sand in the chip being on the ice. That will cause instant fall to the ice. Old saying: It wasn't the fall that killed him, it was the landing.
