Used the Jessup grip tape instead of stippling a pistol grip. Found a template online that "mostly" worked, had to make a few mods to the template, but once done, and cut, this stuff is like gripping your pistol with Stickum on your hands. Seriously legit. The downside to this application? I wouldn't recommend holstering so the grip is against your skin. I would imagine any sustained movement would result in shaving some epidermis from your body. Sometimes a good thing, but not in this case.

Having “specialized” grip tapes. Companies who make this kind of skateboard grip tape know that they prefer it on a higher grit-level than most. It does provide grip strength.

Rub the tape with a soft wire brush; then use the rubber piece. Rub it hard across the grip surface in a straight line & check whether the dirt comes off. If necessary, rub it more vigorously.

Purchased a grip tape from Mob grip or a Grizzly griptape. grip tape cannot be too grippy, in this case, grip tapes that are extremely grippy are good for me because overtime grip strength will wear out.

You can find a lube alternative around the home if you are in a bind, like motor oil or even canola oil, cooking oil or spray. The famous WD-40 is not a lubricant, but a solvent; hence, it should not be applied to lube or grease any moving parts.

Grip tape of skateboard is very helpful for people who is sweat (like me). It helped me maintain traction and stability.
