USE

AND

HOW

TO

How? Basically take the Trib-Grip pad and scrape the surface clean by abrasion and at the same time the chemical agent is released.

Advantages

Disadvantages

As mentioned before it increases the friction so when the piece begins to slip the friction rises.

Can be used on metal without changing the surface or the fit.

Can last indefinitely, however, natural debris can mask it’s effectiveness.

Reduces Corrosion.

Can be removed by gently scraping the surface.

At this time no disadvantages are present!
