NOSHMJ Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Has anyone had issues with rust forming inside the grip on the stainless PT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuJudge Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Some grades of Stainless will rust, especially if there is salt around, such as from sweat. What makes Stainless resist rust is a rather clear and tightly adhering Chrome oxide layer, which prevents any more oxygen reaching the steel. If something removes the chrome oxide layer, and/or prevents it from forming, you will have rust. I have no experience with that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 "stainless" is really "stains-less" in most grades too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japarker82 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Have you contacted PT? That's where I'd start. Chances are they'd make it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 I just cleaned it up and oiled. See what happens I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 My Cheely stainless grip is not coated and had same issue. Have to either have coated or keep it cleaned / oiled… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they'd make it right What are they supposed to do? It's a steel grip being soaked in sweat all the time. It's gonna rust. Stainless or not It's gonna rust. Just wipe down with oil and let it sit for a bit then wipe clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
