Horrible Grip on Brushed Steel Pole
-
Look into powder coating the pole. I know of quite a few people here who have had it done at a body shop and the cost was under $100.
The only problem I see with both tape and liquid latex is both of them are going to need constant replacement. I am also not sure how well liquid latex sticks to metal….
-
I've seen poles taped. they do need constant replacement, and it can be too much grip to do some tricks, but i wasn't sure if the 22 foot pole was one piece and instaleld in place… in which case it'd be hard to have it powder coated unless you know someone who can do something like an electrostatic spray on site.
-
I second Chemmie. If grips aids don't work on the brushed steel, powder coating will do the trick.
-
btw, have you tried corn huskers lotion and pole?

Hi ladies I just got a chrome xpole and I slip very easily. I have gloves which help my hands but not the rest of me. Any suggestions on what I can put on the pole itself?
-
my came and I like it for the brushed steel. thanks
@ittybitty I have a chrome xpole and when I first got it, it was so slick. USE DRY HANDS
eventually the coating will go away and will have a better grip.
(I also use itac sometimes but not too much, and wash the pole with rubbing alcohol)
-
ittybitty – I suggest buying some corn huskers lotion and slathering it on your points of contact. Once the factory finish comes off the pole, the chrome should have better grip.

Thanks sensualcimitar & Tarapebbles I'm gonna try it all. I'm ready to get my pole on ASAP!

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me how long the xpole will be slippery? I’ve had it for over a month and it’s still slippery but I don’t use it often because it’s so slippy. I’ve used alcohol and windex.

@queenjewell the more you use the xpole the faster it will get a better grip. Invite friends over and all play on it a bunch that will help, Ive had mine for 3 yrs now and its sooo much better than the first yr I had it. Dry hands grip helps a ton!!!!!
I know its frustrating at first but keep at it, you will be glad you did 🙂

Thank you Tarapebbles! I like the Dry hands but it doesn't last very long. I try to invite friends over but (no one wants to play with me 🙁 lol. I'll keep at it though. Thanks for the advice and good luck on your pole! By the way.. Great profile picture.
