How to take Majestics from slippery to grippy (1 Viewer)

[ChrisB]

Using a 1500 grit micro mesh pad I was able to take slippery Majestic to a nice grippy feel like you have been playing with them for years. Here is link to a video I made that displays this.

Nice! I’ve notice handling mine made them less slippery, but that seemed to work very well.

Have a link to the micro mesh?

All good if don't have a label

This is great. Well done. Does it work without messing up the label?

Pressing on the edges of the chip and sanding for 5 seconds there appears no damage to the label

And it doesn’t affect the appearance?

nope, just a bid of dust from the sanding.

Does oiling them again after the sanding reverse the feel changes?

Seems to make them less grippy but still better than brand new. I would just oil edges and leave the faces alone.

I did this to Nexgens and it improved the texture nicely but that dust made of pure china nastyness. Do that outside or wear a mask.

The 1500 seems to work best. No damage to the label. Still not grippy like Paulsons or CPC's, but tolerable.

Trade 'em for Paulsons?

Offer me a 1-Paulson-for-2-Majestic deal, I’ll take you up on it, and even cover shipping.

Well, maybe not those...

Interesting point: I bought the assorted sandpapers, as I stated above. 1500 grit and higher works well, 1200 and lower not as well.
