Just out of curiosity-- I was wondering if anyone knew the exact materials
that are used to coat the inner surfaces of the PLP "Big Grips" such as BG-2144
(1/4") or BG-2146 (5/16")? It appears to me that a gritty material is in
combination with an adhesive. I was reading about the manufacturing process
used to make a very similar dead-end grip by a PLP competitor and it is
mentioned the strands of grip are dipped in an adhesive to bind them together,
then they mention the final application of the abrasive material to inner
surfaces. Just curious if anyone knew what the materials used were, especially
the abrasive/grit material. I recall seeing a gritty material dropping out of
older grips (of these exact two mentioned) when taking apart older guy
assemblies, plus seeing thin strips of solidified adhesive coming off of the
strands of grips. Was wondering if the gritty material is a silica compound or
something else??Thanks, Byron W5FH
