New Tape Product
« on: May 06, 2005, 02:16:17 AM »
Tired of fighting your thumbhole?
SlickTape gives you the smooth release you need to lift and turn with authority.
Polymer formula, ultra-slick tape lets you get a snugger fit and still release cleanly. Visit www.slicktape.com and drop a buck-fifty for a sample. If you mention Ballreviews.com in the contact form , I'll double your order.
If you go for a 15-pack, you'll get 6 free!
This offer is ending Memorial Day Monday, midnight!!

Tonight, I just spent at least 15-20 min. removing the slicktape from a teammate's bowling ball thumbhole.  

jkiser01 - I tried acetone and it took a long time to remove the adhesive from the back of the thumbhole.  I would hate to have to go through all that during league or tourney play.  

flacoman - Is it possible I received a "bad" batch of slicktape

I put some in a ball the other night, then removed it (tried to re-use it in a different ball to no avail) and had no residue left in my thumbhole. I really like the idea of putting in on top of a piece of more "re-usable" tape that would make things super easy to deal with. Thanks J-kiser..

I just put slicktape in all of my balls. I prefer to tighter a little my thumbhole, the release is really smooth and no more hanging thumb. Thanks Jorge .

Sir,

I would be willing to bet you just got a bad batch with inadequate cure or excessive adhesive mass. It does happen but not real frequently. Toulene or acetone on a paper towel set in the thumb hole for 15-30 seconds then scraped with a stiff straight edge (butter knife,etc.) should suffice. Good product which should last much longer than texture tape.

Forgive me for not reading all of the replies of this lengthy post.

How many pieces of white tape is Slick Tape equivalent to?  Has anyone familiar with Magic Carpet compared both products?

Strider : The tape is the same as black in terms of thickness,but the slickness will make the thumbhole seem like it just got bigger
I haven't used Magic Carpet with it though , I know someone posted that were going to try that combination. Would be interesting to find out how that went.
