What do you think about using the stuff that is in the rubber but end tutorial for rubberizing your shaft and making it have a better grip just curious if you guys thought it would work

Yeah, it is just like doing a continuation of the buttend.

Would you paint it on though? Because you wouldn't be able to dip the whole shaft into the can. I might go pick some up and experiment on a crappy AL shaft.

i did it to an old alloy2000 just for kicks. i put on two layers and a lot peeled off. i think for it to be successful you need to use a power sander to make the surface of the shaft rough so the plasti-dip spray will adhere to it well, and you need to do several coats.

Hmm...I do have a power sander so it's doable. I'll see if I have the time later this week.

rought up the shaft with sand paper and USE SPRAY plasti-dip. Do not paint it on. Just pray it like spray paint.

best bet get lots of the dip and dip the entire shaft somehow within a shaft, if bottom sealed it wouldnt take that much if the shaft around it is close to its size.
cause the spray always peels off, and never works. i've tried it multiple times.

well the harrow shafts are already rubberized but they chip off so i dont know how it would go. u could give it a try on an old stick but i wouldnt risk it on ur game shaft

Hmm, seems like a cool idea but once you think of it, it really wouldn't be worth the time and effort if it rubs off easily, and it's on your crappy shaft that you don't use for games.

APPARENTLY NO ONE ACTUALLY READ THE TUTORIAL.
I made it clear you have to put the dip ON TAPE or else it peels off. that is quite clear... Whether you use the spray or the dip, USE TAPE FIRST! ...then try and tell me it peels off.
If you do it right, like I have given you the instructions, then it is the best thing you'll ever use.

Well I was going by everyone else's word. If you say it works well with tape then I might try it out after all.
