I'd have it coated though. Maybe selling your Predator can pay for that.
I have no clue.....I've never used that kinda stuff before. I did work at a place that installed vortex bedliner but the application process is much more involved with the industrial machine. Scuff and get clean.i haven't shot aluminum with it for a while, but do you think the gritty rattle can bed liner (duplicolor is good) would stick and work similarly?
stuff is so gooey that i've had it stick to bare aluminum bow risers
If you want traction you could cut it in with a dremel or the corner of a file. That is some beautiful welding . Speaking of welding, if you own one you could also put 'tacks' on it to create traction. How about skateboard grip tape?
i was thinking that dots of whatever that liquid metal stuff is (JB weld?). Would something like that just pop off like those old candy dots on paper?
As long as it is clean jb weld should stick have used it for aluminum repairs before. It held just fine. Might scuff it with some sand paper first to make sure. Wonder if a guy could mix some clean sand with it then apply might have to do a test strip on some aluminum from the shop.i was thinking that dots of whatever that liquid metal stuff is (JB weld?).

But not as tasty

yeah, if it works ok, this might be a good solution for folks that don't weld and don't want to cut into the platform
even if a few pop off a season, it would be cheap to reapply
Plus jb is sandable so it can be shaped also. The only downside is when it drys the surface is like glass so it has to be shaped for traction or sanded in after cure or it will be slick.
Pretty much settles that, I'm going to be out $300 soon
Cheaper than that new bow I've been eyeballing lolSaddle hunters support thread.
For those who need help resisting new gear.. Repeat after me. I don't need to purchase the lastest and greatest equipment out there. The equipment I have is just as good. The new stuff is only different. Not better. I can resist buying new stuff I don't really need. It will not make me a...saddlehunter.com
