kevin c Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Has anybody tried spray grit (the stuff Brownell's sells) on their magazine base pads? I'm tired of trying to keep skateboard tape on my Gram's pads, and don't want to stipple or score them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Suber Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Kevin, All of my Grams pads have the Spray grit on them. After almost 2 years, the Grams polymer shows no ill-effects of the paint. I also added additional grit to the paint to make it more aggressive. In addition to spraying my basepads, I also applied it to my Dawson Ice Magwell. I like the stuff and began using it because I was tired of the skateboard tape, too. Take care.

Loves2Shoot Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 You can use quickset auto epoxy and aluminum oxide if you need git on your base pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin c Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Say, Jack and L2S: Got the spray, and three coats aren't very gritty - What did you, and how did you add more grit to the application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Suber Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Kevin, I went to a paint store and bought a grit additive (basically it is a very clean sand). I sprayed on a coat of the spray grit, then sprinkled the additive on the surface. After that dried, I sprayed it again. That was it. I am starting my second year with the original application and it is holding up fine. The only surface that is showing chips/wear, is on my Dawson Ice Magwell where I have tapped the mainspring housing pin in too far and hit the magwell with the brass hammer. Other than that, it has held up well. BTW, is this Kevin Coomer? Later. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Thanks, Jack. Nah, I am in California, hanging out with Erik Warren, the Other Erik, and various and sundry. You go back a hundred years or so, and you'll see my great gramps getting off the boat from China. Kevin Chu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogmaDog Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Ummm...Just curious, WHY do you want gritty base pads? DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Suber Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 DD, So they won't slip out of my hands when I am tryig to grab them quickly. I have very dry skin on my hands and the Grams basepads are very slick. I find with the grit I don't fumble the mags. Later. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I think the grit can offer a bit of "feel" as well...giving some feedback as to the position of the mags in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
