I use Super Glue gel and silicon carbide granules. Get a selection of grit sizes - they are pretty cheap - and pick one that feels right. Spread the gel on the selected surface, pour on the carbide, let it set, remove the excess. It holds up very well - I never have had to recoat.solomon grundy wrote:I have a ergonomic grip that I've modified w/ wood putty.
Any recommendations for improving the adhesion of the puttied areas? - e.g. are there methods for binding a silicate, or other gritty substances, to the putty surface?
I use the morini, or other, grip paste and stipple it with my finger. Just coat the grip surface all over and dabb it with your finger tip. It raises into little bumps or spikes depending on the amount you spread on the grip. If it's too sharp then just lightly sand off the sharp peaks.solomon grundy wrote:That's an interesting idea. Do you get your carbine from a lapidary supplier, or are there other sources for small quantities?
I'm also looking for a good way to treat a trigger face. My Model 14 has a smooth wide SS trigger. Unfortunately this becomes slick rather easily. I'll like to avoid replacing the trigger.

Can't remember exactly where I went, but it was a lapidary supplier. Use Google

I have used a coarse sanding roll on my dremel to roughen the trigger surface. Doesn't take much.
My recollection is that grip tape is tacky. I prefer a surface that is rough rather than sticky.higginsdj wrote:What about that thin mesh like grip tape that one can use on Tennis/Squash racquets handles? I used it on my bow grips - it's not permanent but easily replaceable/removable. (I'm a novice, don't own a pistol and haven't tried it on a pistol grip)
