Steel frame silicon carbide application

[Stevetford]

Has anyone performed the silicon carbide grip treatment to a steel pistol frame. Yes I realize its a permanent modification and will severely affect the resale value, but this is a pistol that will remain in my possession as long as i'm alive. 

 The pistol in question is a CZ SP-01 Shadow. I'm currently using a grip tape on the front and rear back straps, but the factory checkering does not leave must real estate for the adhesive to adhere to so I'm looking for a more permanent solution. This pistol is used in both IDPA and USPSA matches and during the summer months the frame can get slick with sweaty hands. The LOK grips have helped, but I'm looking for more grip especially on the front strap. 

 I'm assuming the frame surface would need to be roughed up where I plan to apply the silicon carbide, and the slow setting JB Weld is the best adhesive for this application. Anything else I need to know or do before I reach the point of no return. Appreciate any help

I would try Vicious Tape very aggressive and great adhesive.

This stuff is amazing but does make grip fatty

Thanks, I’ll look that up. I’m all for something that would prevent me from making permanent mods to my pistol.
