Not having to reapply grip material as a warranty item greatly reduced this companies expenses and increased their profit.
Application Method
The metal was prepped with a hand grinder for a rough and irregular surface, then washed with solvent. The Belzona 4411 was applied by brush, and the Belzona 9221 was sprinkled on with a plastic bag underneath to catch the excess for future applications.
Belzona Facts
