Grip wrap?

[TaterHill Archer]

Tell me what you use for grip wrap or tape.  I've got a couple of bows that have a fairly slick grip and would like something other than leather to try.  I've got some leather I can use for the grip but I also have some skateboard grip tape and some silicone wrap material.  I'd like to hear what you're using and how you've got it on your bow.

On some of my selfbows I'll wrap the handle with hemp cord from Walmart. After I wrap it I saturate it with Massey finish, 2 part epoxy diluted with acetone. After it dries I lightly sand it to get the lumps and hairs off. It's waterproof and gives you a good purchase on the handle.




I use a rolled up paper towel to saturate the handle wrap with the Massey finish.
