Title: How to get scuff sheets to stick
Post by: Joe on April 11, 2012, 04:48:45 PM: I always have real issues getting scuff sheets to stick, what do you do to get them to adhere properly? What I do know is sand it gently, and then clean it with white wine vinegar, but it just doesn't stick. It's really annoying, anyone got any advice?

The alcohol vinegar cleans crap off it pretty well.

Anyway, mose scuff sheets don't leave a sticky residue. So no need to rub down with vinegar

Post by: AlanB on April 11, 2012, 07:39:04 PM: Top Tip: I couldn't get the edges of a scuff sheet with fibreglass edging (Kookaburra Armourtec) to stick down fully, the bat has largish edges which contributed to this. Used a very small amount of Pritt glue spread along each edge - sorted.
