JB weld and silicon carbide adventure

I have wanted to do this for years in search for that sweat-blood-oil proof grip.
After a brief online search, I decided to give it a go.
Pretty simple, degrease the surface, create some abrasions with sand paper, wash and dry really well, apply JB weld, apply the silicon carbide, wait for 24 hours.
I also modified the hogue grip since I don't like the finger grooves. Same process. Applied blobs of JB weld, mold/hold it by masking tape, wait 24 hours, fine tune the mold with file, re apply thin layer of JB weld, press to pile of silicon carbide, wait for 24 hours.
It doesn't look too bad, and 100% functional.

Got 1lbs+ of the stripper glitter......errr, I mean 46-70 grit silicon carbide left if anyone feeling frisky enough to try on their mag, grip, etc.
Let me know if you're around Bragg.


ps. on a happy note, the brace is now legal to shoulder (again) !
Time to find a short range multigun match. The Geisselte AKT trigger and night brake have made the M92 a fast and reasonably accurate platform
