JimmyTheDriver 36 Report post Posted April 2, 2015 Hey fellas,I have read around old threads a bit and have trouble telling if people are serious or not. When removing grip from a stick, do folks really just use sandpaper? Any other methods that work well? I tried baby powder but that lasted all of 20 seconds. The stick is brand new, and top dollar, so I don't really want to just use it as an experiment.I have a random orbital sander that could strip in seconds... just not sure how aggressive I need to be.Thanks!Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDHockey 19 Report post Posted April 2, 2015 I usually use grip but picked up a Mako II and the grip was just too much. I just used a foam sanding block and lightly sanded the areas I wanted to grip removed. Did the trick for that stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimmyTheDriver 36 Report post Posted April 3, 2015 Appreciate the feedback.So - acetone didn't work. I then sanded, but wasn't overly happy with the results, so I sprayed over it with some clear matte paint. Feels perfect right now. If this holds up, I'll be pumped.-Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
