also for sweaty hands, check out the newer product ' dirtygirl poletice ' http://www.dirtygirlpoletice.com/

first, i think itac is different formula now.
second, i don't think itac4 is made anymore, so maybe the one you got is an old one and it went bad or something.
also- maybe it's a good batch but you used too much? try just using i teeny tiny amount.

I cannot use itac on my hands at all…I have the same issues with butter hands. Many people use it just on part of their body where they need extra grip….knee pits, bottom of foot, etc.

I can’t use iTac on my hands either. Makes them too slippery.
I use Mighty Grip on my hands most of the time. I’ve also started using DirtyGirl Poletice underneath. ITac goes on my other areas (ankles, thighs, etc).
Keep in mind that it may not be just your hands but also that Chrome poles are the least grippy and you may need to ‘season’ your pole too. Are you cleaning the pole (with rubbing alcohol, vinegar, vodka…)?

ty for all the responses!..i didnt realize itac2 4 was not sold anymore,but i got it off ebay,it does work great if i put a tiny amoutn on my thighs and what not,im gonna order tite grip i havent hear anything bad about it, i clean my pole which seems like every 10 mins..lol..i grip to chrome better than my old stainless steel lil mynx pole. i just got some deoderant cream in a small tub at the drug store andit holds up pretty good 🙂

iTac is mainly beeswax. When your hands sweat, the combination of sweat on wax can be very slippery. IMHO, it's not a great grip aid. Try something else, like Tite Grip, or another topical antiperspirant.
