An easy way to recondition G3 climbing skin adhesive with G3's updated formula.
This is a bulk amount of 50 yards. Ideal if you are renewing a large number of climbing skins.
Only compatible with G3 Climbing Skins.
If you follow the instructions on YouTube it should be hassle free.
I even managed to pull down the white waxy sheet in one piece after waiting only about 30 minutes from the ironing. It is important to use the iron on 180 C (measure with an infra thermometer ) otherwise it won't stick to the fabric.
Seems the glue doesnt melt properly, mine got glued to the backing paper more than skin. Feels more like a double sided tape. Package instructions recommend much lower degrees Celsius than instruction video on youtube. My setting was in between. Are there several versions of this? Did I get bad batch? Hard to tell, but skins are not possible to use after this treatment 😐
First of all, if you watch the tutorial on YouTube and follow carefully all the steps and tips, it is going to work. It is not easy nor fast, but you can save a little bit of money compare to buying new skins.
That being said, on their product's description, G3 writes to cover the skins with "long sections of old newspaper". Do not attempt that (see results below). Maybe something was wrong with my newspaper (color or not old enough lol), but I guarantee that using Parchment paper is much more effective and painless.
The other thing is that I did one skin, than the other one, so I could learn from my mistakes on the first one.
You can see on the image with the white sheet, that the result was not great. Did I ironed it to long? Did it burned? I really don't know, but it took me an hour just to peel off the glue paper adhesive that stick to it and I was not satisfied about some spots. You can see that my first attempt shows great results, sticky and clean. Will see how long it handles!
Took me about 45 minutes to clean and re-glue a set of skins on my first try.
I replaced the glue on my skins with this 2 seasons ago and while it wasn't without its challenges the glue has held up well since. Highly reccomend skin savers while in the field or love glove. Don't stick them together and if they don't stick to the skin during application cut another piece out of the excess and place in the unstuck area. Put some parchment paper over the adhesive and iron down until all the parts that don't adhere are filled. Be patient, use the right heat. It works.
