Is my glide toast?

[joeynbgky]

Here's some pics, its a greenglide that's a year old. It has knicks, and the glide itself is no longer even. Deep wear groves to.. will this affect recovery?

there is a lot of life left in that thing...sand it down and put it back on....

Back relief helpers work better when they are rounded. That is why they come that way from the factory.


Here's some info......


There was a point in this Ad somewhere, FLAT and a big ass slot, and additional grooves does Not GLIDE very well, nor dry very well, so is it really a stair glide?

Honestly..it's kind of the Anti-glide, let's see if Mikey would like that on his Vortex?

As for wear, keep your teflon glides Round as best you can, a little block of wood and some 80 grit or a Rasp will make short work of keeping them round, then follow with some 120 grit, it'll also clean them up nicely. keep em' round and they will push easier and extract better.

How do you know this Lance?

 

[sam miller]

Somebodys working those edges hard!

 

[floorguy]

holy chit, your fine....TONS o life left...it helps with aggitation when its a little beat up...


they come rounded because they buy the round sticks, not that they get squares and round them....

Those are greenie's words not mine, so buzz off.

 

[bob vawter]

a belt sander is what you need to round that off!

 

[Brian R]

Isn't is supposed to have a slit on either end of the Glyde too?

Helps to get those edges.

Sand it down, loads of life in it yet.
Just DONT breathe the dust in when your sanding it !.

I run mine until they fall off, so far I have worn out 1 in 6 years, the one I have now has about 1/3 life in it still. I do find it odd that the edges are worn so much worse than the middle.

 

[GeneMiller]

i don't get how they can last that long. mine are gone in 4-6 months.
