Why is nothing sticking to my bat??
« on: May 17, 2013, 08:05:22 PM »

I could either be being seriously retarded but nothing is sticking to my bat!!
Anti scuffs or fibre tape!

What could be causing this?

I don't think it's an over oiling as I only oiled it once.....

Any ideas guys?

What bat is it ?. It's probably well finished. Maybe a very light sanding using superfine paper and removal of sawdust will help.

It's a ricochet 1000. I've given it a fine sand and wiped it down numerous times and still no stick

Does the wood feel dry? Or does it feel quite moist

I had similar trouble getting a sticker on to a bat. I pulled the sticker out first time it didn't stick and resulted in the fine particles coating the stickers making it sticking back difficult again. You could also try warming the scuff sheet gently and try again.

Tried heating sheet and also fibre tape as I know it loosens the glue.   Would it be an idea to put a light heat to dry it out a smidge

Ill upload some tomorrow at work.  I'm tempted to give it a little bit of heat from a hair dryer.

Yes before anyone says it I am aware of the consequences if dry it too much
