    Probably, I did let a friend, who is just starting to play, borrow it for about a week.

    Ok, theory. On a scale of 1 to 10, how sweaty are everybody's hands.

    Yeah I thought it might be the oils for my hands because my hands are super sweaty so I actually rinsed it off using a little soapy water and that's a lot better nothing like it was when it's new but still a marked improvement

    It actually works. I used them on my kusa sticky coat and it brings it back to life when the paint is icy. Also my clear coat didn't came off and it is in really good condition and it has a ton of play

    At least a solid 17, after a few hours of play any ken I touch ends up looking like it's been seshed for months, with how dark it gets.

    Warm: loses stick, wipe it
    Cold: stays sticky, slay it

    Yeah I'm in the UK and my Bray mod was awesome in the summer weather but now it seems a little worse when playing out doors.
    I put it down to the temperature changes and when I go for a lighthouse out in the cold give it a little rub with the palm of my hand to warm it up a little.
    It seems to work bit could all jist be im my mind lol

    second on the baby wipes. I tried them last night and it made my ballard super sticky. I also used the wipe to remove the oils from my fingertips when doing tama grip tricks! needless to say I stuck a few in a ziploc so I'd have some with me when I'm not home.

    I like baby wipes too...they dont mess with the paint like alcohol does and they work great. I use them on my REZs all the time to minimize the grime buildup. They still get grimey over time but it takes longer.

    In my experience it's because of the dents. My IJI Slaydawg is dented around the hole and not as much on the sides. I can definately feel the difference in stick when doing lunars over the hole or on the side

    I was disappointed with LOL clear, it always starts out so great, but turns to ice too quickly. And I live in a decently humid environment too.

    If you want sticky that’s durable, Sticky AF (DWI) lasts a long time. Starts out almost too sticky and gets more manageable with wear.
