Alright, not your standard which scuff sheet is better etc. thread but more of what to do?

Purchased a bunch of scuff sheets, of a brand I have used before and liked, they all arrived and every single one of them has failed to stick to a bat so far (about 6 of them wasted). Basically when I peel them off the paper a lot of the glue is left behind on the paper and not enough on the sheet to stick to a bat, it leaves a horrible sticky/guey mess on the back paper / wax paper or whatever it is and does not stick to the bat at all (especially the edges). Tried using electrical tape to get the edges to stick for a week but still no luck.

Question is what would be the cause? and what can I do to the rest of them to make them usuable?

I have tried heating the them with a hair dryer, cooling them in the fridge, on an oiled bat, on an unoiled bat and no luck.

Not to sound fly but bin them and purchase better ones.They sound like ones I bought off eBay earlier in the year and were shocking.When peeling them the same things happened to me.some parts seemed over tacky then others.I ended up going to romida and spent a fiver on the helicopter sheet

Might have to...although i did spend decent amount, or what I think is a decent amount, on these...

I've never had a problem with the scuff sheets that have to be peeled off once.ie the paper/wax sheet.I always seem to have problems when you have to peel front and back of the sheets(hope that makes sense) they are usually the cheaper ones off eBay.

Not sure I understand

I could only liken them to when you get a screen protector for your mobile phone.Peel off one side,place down on phone then peel off the other side.Thats what the scuffs were like.Peel one side,place on bat then peel the top off.as I said ,....rubbish

That's exactly what happened to me, i bought a dozen set of scuff sheets, have wasted 3 of them, same problem edges are not sticking. I showed them to an expert who told me that these are exposed to heat so will not stick properly.

Cut them along the edge so they only cover the face, then put a strip of tape to cover some of the face and some of the edge?

Was this the shamrock ones?

Sometimes you just get a poor batch

[ozcfa]

Yep, I had the exact same problem with shamrock sheets. Bought two and both were unusable.  Haven't let him know about this though....

[tushar sehgal]

Yes they are shamrock ones. I'll try the cutting the edges off and using the tape on the edges or just bin them all.First one was really good this might be bad batch

may be a dumb question but has the bat been recently oiled?

i have had issues in the past if the bats have been recently oiled.

As half of mine stuck i used masking tape to hold the other parts in place and it eventually stuck
If it has been oiled maybe a light sand to clear the oil resin

Hope this helps

Hey Mate, I've tried these on both oiled and un-oiled bats. Oiled ones had a 2-3 week gap between oiling and applying the scuff sheet

Probably something to do with storage temperature by the manufacturer/seller.
Same thing happens to Sellotape if it's old or kept in the heat

Looks like there was issues with the 2nd batch of scuff sheets i got in

If anyone had problems with scuff sheets sticking that were bought off me then email or pm me with the quantity and postal address and i will get replacement ones sent out free of charge
