Sandpaper (gasp) new brass pole?
-
I don't know what to say at this point. I read brass was nice and sticky…..sure isn't, at least for me. Now Luvlee has been on PS brass pole and they are grippy for her. I am wondering if the one she was on is more tarnished? If thats the case I'm going to speed up the tarnishing process. I am also going to get a themometer and humidity monitor in my basesment and record what is the best temp and humidity level when the pole tends to have some grip (which is never). Then I can adjust by running my space heater and the showerto the proper levels. But what a pain in the ass! Guess in hind site I would have just bought a chome, sanded and painted again.

lyme – you might want to try gloves…

btw, I stick to my brass pole wheter it is clean or dirty. I just stick MORE when it is dirty. I have really grippy skin though. I stick well to almost any finish (except with my hands cuz they sweat like a beast.)
From what I've seen on here, if you struggle with stainless and chrome, you'll probably also struggle on brass (though that isn't a guarantee,) simply because your skin doesn't have that extra grip. my body wouldn't stick to my brass when I first got it cuz I was on that medication that made me stop sweating, which in turn made my skin really really slick. Your skin needs some friction to it to stick well.

when I say I stick, I STICK. I sometimes cannot slide down!

I just bought a PS Brass 45 and yes having the same grip problems. Another thing is that I don't know but for some reason it scares me cause it seems so bendy. I have the star standalone and I know they move,but for some reason I just think it is going to snap in half! Am I tripping or does anyone else find this to be true?
-
brass is a very soft metal, so you have to be gentle with it. It will have a lot of flex, especially as you go down in diameter and when compared to steel poles.
-
I don't think you have to worry about is snapping in half….otherwise, I don't think they would be selling them. Do you have a one piece?
-
I can't remember who, but someone on here posted pics of her 38mm brass pole that she managed to bend. Just be gentle with it. No crazy spins or anything.
-
No it came in two pieces. I wanted to try the brass without having to buy a whole new standalone and they make them in two pieces.
-
Aerial, I can't manage to do any crazy spins…..I would go flying off!
-
AG, what type of gloves? I did buy the yellow dish gloves and they too just "slid on down".
-
my mighty grip gloves DO NOT work on my brass… they are perfect when i tried them on chrome though….
im about to say screw it and buy a powder coat and a chrome pole and just have all three and use whatever one that works best on that day… when i move homes of course
