analog999 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BK 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
analog999 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 I definitely wouldn't use it on the butt end, but on the blade it would probably be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
analog999 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wickedwrister 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 I wonder how heavy it is (as in if it would upset the balance of the blade or not)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkStar50 679 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlGiballa23 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I want to skate over a chip of this stuff for obvious reasons. Idea = practical, reality = not so practical. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
