Replacement Skin Glue

Post by Nick BC » Thu Feb 04, 2021 6:01 pm

I ordered and paid for a pair of the replacement glue sheets from G3 last night and spent this morning with an iron and brown paper stripping off the original crappy G3 glue. Now I’ve just received an email from G3 saying there was a glitch in their inventory and the sheets aren’t available - aaaargh!!

I’ve trawled the internet for those sheets and also Gold Bond, which I have used in the past with good success. Nothing is available as far as I can see. Is there any other any other alternative glue I could use?

I've never used it, but Ski Uphill in Canmore sells iron-on glue sheet by the cm. I think they'll ship anywhere in Canada.

Thanks Smitty. Just ordered it from them. I like Skiuphill and have bought stuff from them before. I had checked their site for the BD glue and G3 skin papers, but somehow missed the Trab product!

That's great, glad it panned out!

You'll have to let us know how well the Trab sheets go on. I don't use skins much, only played with BD Gold for touch ups so far. But the glue is ratched on one of my pairs of kickers, might give the sheets a go for a full glue replacement.

Sure, I’ll post on how they work. I’ve seen a few negative comments on the G3 sheets, hope the Colltex are better.
