Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my firearm grip for silicon carbide application?

Begin by thoroughly masking off all areas of the firearm frame you do not want to coat. Then, clean the exposed grip areas with alcohol to ensure they are completely degreased and dry for optimal epoxy adhesion. This preparation is key to a clean and durable finish.
