I have a synthetic stock that finished out a little too slick...this looks like a neat solution. Has anybody tried it?

Cheers

Pete

The sheet I have is useless, its always peeling away.

Pete,don't know what your trying to do with it,but if your trying to make for better grip,try what we do on our pistols, use skate board tape,it has a sand paper type of feel and tacky backing.

Dave,

I thought of the skateboard tape but the stuff we have locally is as rough as a bear's arse. I am concerned about the Pac-skin not sticking as Cracker says.

Thanks for the input guys.

Cheers

Pete you might try a little bit of rubber cement

Pete,

Mine would not adhere either and I quickly aborted it's use.................

Sherwin Williams Poulane Catalyzed Polyurethane paint is the way to go, it has a slight rubbery texture, especially if the spray gun is adjusted to "splatter" slightly. (I use a Binks 18 gun) This is the best stock paint, I have been using it for years. Also works well with a HVLP gun.

But, you likely cannot source it in Africa, but I am sure a substitute may be found.

Some of the guys use the coating that is sprayed in the beds of Pickup Trucks for protection, "Rhino Lining" is one trade name. Makes a nice grippable surface.

Same trouble with the stuff slipping so I went with an easy solution. Mask out the area you need grip and put down a coat of marine spar varnish, sprinkle some fine sand in the stuff and let it dry. Now put a second layer of spar varnish over and let it dry. Paint as desired. The second coat locks on the sand so it dosent flake off, also tends to "round" out the rough spots so it will not abrade skin.

I have used a little bit of pac skin stuff and it seems to stay on fairly well. Probably depends on the surface, etc. It comes with 'extra sticky dot' thingies that help. No, I don't think it would stay on a gun with much hard use.

I used some epoxy Texture paint from Brownells on a shotgun stock. Seems okay, but I have not carried it enough to see how it will hold up. It is only moderately rough...which is good.
