Excellent Video and undeniably a gerat product. Will be ordering soon. Thanks again.
Great video! I will buy this for my less lethal markers. Love your content and your entrepreneurial drive! Thanks for your effort and for making my life that much easier.
Fantastic kit and great service. Highly recommended,
Followed this video and just did my walther pdp. Came out great. Thank you!
I like how you made it so glittery!!!
That’s just the carbide. Sometimes it’s called “Diamond” grip as well
@@vanniek71 I thought of it more like be-dazzled. I may add some rhinestones and beads too.
@@bearjew590 Do it!
I’d like to hide deeper valleys in my backstrap for a clean even look. Could I apply a layer of epoxy first, let it cure, then reapply and do the normal procedure?
Yup. Or put the epoxy on thicker in that area, few ways to do it
I know that you obviously can't go into the tang because of the grip safety. If there isn't a grip safety, do you think we should still stay away from the tang? Does it chew up your hand if you go that high on the grip?
Few reasons I personally don’t go in to the tang/beavertail as high- first, yeah it chews up your hand, 2nd if you need to reposition your grip it makes it harder for your hand to slide higher.
@vanniek71, thanks for the reply... I appreciate it.
I think these kits are genius
Can I do silicon carbide over a previously stippled frame? Just looking for better function
Yessir, essentially the frame in this video is stippled (more or less) may need a but more epoxy to fill in the dimples but it works fine
Could you make a video, or do you have one that shows a sample of the different grit sizes please?
If you check out www.71create.com/store and go to the grip kits there is a sample of each grit next to each other so you can see what they look like
Great work/product.. Does this work on a Hogue grip?
I think the Hogue’s are a bit too soft. You’d want a solid surface to apply it to so it doesnt flex when you grip it. Might work for a while but I think eventually it might start to flake.
That being said I’ve never applied it to a Hogue grip so I’m not 100% sure how it would perform
@@vanniek71 Well this is a hold my beer moment.. Im going to try... If I go to Home depot can I match your grit to their sandpaper to feel which one I want to order ..24, 36 or 46/70
@@bigdny99 If you'd like I can send you samples of those grits so you have the exact thing, I am not sure what the sandpaper equivalents would be. Under the contact heading on my website you can shoot me a message. 71create.com/contact

i still have this grey p80 17 frame laying around all cleand up ready to go for a stipple job but somehow,i would like to try this method.
i just have to find out how to create clean borders.ocd ya know😂
taping is meehh...but i'm around 0,8 - 1,0mm into the frame with my recessed broders...
so i just paint the adhesive on clean and get clean borders?
🤔
Combo of masking off around the border and a little cleanup with the provided supplies and you can create perfect borders. Some guys even like to dremel a line for their borders… all depends on how creative you want to get!
If u completed the grip . Can u do another layer of epoxy over the carbide again to make it thicker ? Or would i have to shave it down and start over again ?
You should be able to go over the top of the carbide. Just make sure it’s clean.
I bought this and it works great, but has really started to wear down with daily use. What is the best way to add more silicon carbide to an area that is worn down? Do I need to grind down to polymer each time or can you just refresh it?
Have to tried cleaning the grip off? Dish soap and water then scrub it with a nylon brush to get the dead skin and crud out of it.
If you do need to re-do it scraping off as much as you can with a file, scraper etc and then re-coating is your best bet.
how long does it last compared to something like the talon grips?
Significantly longer. Total lasting time TBD because I haven’t been able to wear one out yet. I've found Talon grips are fine for short term and temporary grip. Then eventually the glue fails and you need to clean them off and reapply. Carbine is a more permanent application. Think of it as Perma-Talons that you don't have to re-apply
Is this strictly just for polymer grips only, or would this work on an aluminum grip from Icarus precision? And are these the same grits/texture I can find in a hardware store sandpaper section?
The epoxy I supply works on all kinds of substrate - polymer, aluminum, steel, wood, glass etc etc. I don’t know of any hardware store that carries silicon carbide grit, but you can source it online fairly easy, but usually have to buy it in larger quantities. The kits we provide include everything you need in one place.
How do you redo the grip if it wears off? Do you remove it completely somehow and redo it from scratch?
You can scrape a majority of it off, but the great thing is silicon carbide doesn’t wear out quickly. It will last for years and years if you just clean it every once in a while and brush the crud out of it
What about the Chewy box? I think that's worth more than what is in the kit.
Chewy box is flat and empty so not true…. But with 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 horses and a bird we get a lot of chewy boxes…. Lol
@@vanniek71 🤣Damn with all those animals Chewy definitely made their share! They need to kick back for the free advert. Great video tutorial thank you!
How well would this work on aluminum frame?
Works great, follow instructions the same as you would for Poly, Steel, G10 etc. The epoxy bonds well to pretty much anything so you would be good to go!
Hello, may I ask, what can be done about the loose silicon carbide getting on my hands? I keep brushing it with a nylon brush and a foam brush but still keep getting granulates on my hands
It happens for a bit and then it will stop. You can keep brushing it, but I just use the pistols and after a few times the loose stuff is mostly gone.
Is this a kit you can buy or you have to buy everything separately?
Hey Mario, thanks for watching and this is a kit, I wished someone had one available when I first started doing these grips and had a lot of people asking, so decided to gather everything needed and offer an "easy button" so people don't have to chase stuff all over. The link is listed above in the video description. If you want to just copy and paste - they are located here - www.71create.com/store
Also what one would you pick for edc appendix
Really depends on your preference, but considering the close proximity to your body I'd suggest the 60/90 or the 120/220. If you are unsure, go ahead and pick one or the other I just listed and if I see your name come through I will throw a small bag of whatever of the two you don't pick in to your order!
What grit sandpaper did you scuff with?
Doesn’t really matter much, as long as it roughs the surface up. Our kits include 220 grit
What’s the difference between the one you use and the 60/90
I use 46/70 which is more aggressive than the 60/90.
@@vanniek71 what’s the website for the kit?
