For me, it seemed counterintuitive that gripping tighter made things less stable and more slippery. I ended up spending a few months really re-evaluating my grip pressure and finger control and I've really never used the stuff since except in very rare cases. It also inadvertently highlighted some faults in my grip - namely that I was gripping too tight and that I never really needed the Snot or waxes unless my hands were SUPER dry like in the dead of winter. Then it sort of activated in the first few bars of a groove. I ended up just using the tip of my finger to get a small, almost seemingly useless amount, and roughly spreading that around the butt of the stick. If you applied a decent amount to get the stick nice and grippy before it had been warmed up from playing, it ended up being waaay to much in the heat of battle, so to speak. When I was on the Snot, I found that you had to use the smallest amount possible and then have it sort of melt and spread out during the first few minutes of playing. Had to wipe my computer mouse with IPA, probably will do the same for the phone (and sticks).Īre people really using this stuff? If so, I'm curious to hear about your methods/results. (Not quite as agressively tacky but enough to cause discomfort).Īs I'm typing this, I still feel my hands tacky against the phone case.

Lo and behold, after my hands got dry and the skin of my palms/fingers began to heat up, it must have activated some residual resin caught in the folds of my skin, the new sticks became almost as sticky as the first pair. : Beauty & Personal Care : Moco de Gorilla, Gorilla Earwax, Hair Wax Gel, Hair Styling Wax, Trendy Hairstyle, Superior Control, Long-Lasting Hold, 2-Pack of 3.53 Oz, 2 Jars. I got to the sink, washed my hands twice with Dawn and took out a brand new, un-snotted pair of sticks. : Moco de Gorilla, Gorilla Earwax, Hair Wax Gel, Hair Styling Wax, Trendy Hairstyle, Superior Control, Long-Lasting Hold, 2-Pack of 3.53 Oz, 2 Jars.

Sticks were so darn tacky that it wasn't even playable, I felt as if blisters wanted to form after only 1 song or 2 if I kept on playing. Got to practice today and put a very small bead on a pair of sticks, spread it as evenly as I could and after about 15 secs the stuff had become almost like contact cement.

Says on the lid it's for gripping on drumsticks or guitar picks even with overly dry or sweaty hands. In this video I will show you how to sleek down your 4c hair edges and layer your hair with got2b and gorilla snot gel. My go-to is usually Vic Firth's stick wax and it works quite well, but it sort of bunches up in little clumps at different spots up the stick after you play it a while, making an otherwise smooth stick feel un-even circumference-wise.Ī few days ago I hit the shop and as I was buying some small stuff, I came upon this Gorilla snot bottle. I also struggle with loosening up my grip and I'm always on the lookout for stuff that helps (even marginally). I tend to have very dry hands these days, what with all the purell-ing and whatnot.
