HOW TO TURN GRIP TO LONG,RIGHT SIZE?
Hello Fernado, Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe Hypalon grips cut away and reel seat are slightly heated with a hot air gun to ease the removal.
The epoxy residue were also slightly heated up and then submerged in ice water. I repeated that process a few times, the epoxy became more brittle and easy to scrap off.
The front EVA grip were turned to shape before installing, the rear grip and fighting butt were purchased from Mudhole.
