Grippax is a quick drying adhesive (size) suitable for bonding abrasives to mops and felt bobs and for
general use as an adhesive.
It is particularly useful for bonding the finer grit sizes where skin glue would formerly have been used.
Grippax possesses a similar flexibility to skin glue, and like glue it is free from hard particles.
Mops and felt bobs made up with Grippax and fine abrasive last longer than when glue is used.
The method of application is simple. The cement is thoroughly stirred and a sizing coat of Grippax
cement is applied to the face of the bob, which is then allowed to dry normally overnight, or may be heated
in a well ventilated stove for an hour at a temperature not exceeding 62°C (145°F). When the sizing coat is
dry, the wheel is dressed by applying a second coating of Grippax cement. It is then pressed into the abrasive
until the required coating is obtained, and is afterwards put away to dry. A second coat, if necessary, may be
applied in the same manner.
Old bobs or wheels that have previously been dressed with skin glue must have all traces of the original glue
removed before Grippax is applied, and must also be free from grease.
