FAQs

How much Carbon Gripper should I apply?

Apply a thin, even layer to the clamping areas. Less is often more.

Can I use this on metal components?

No, this product is specifically designed for carbon fiber parts.

How do I clean off the Carbon Gripper?

Use a clean cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild degreaser.

What happens if I use too much?

Excessive amounts can cause components to stick together and make disassembly difficult. Always wipe away any excess.

Is this safe for all types of carbon fiber?

Yes, it is safe for all types of carbon fiber commonly used in cycling.

How often should I reapply the Carbon Gripper?

Reapply whenever you disassemble and reassemble your carbon fiber components, or if slippage occurs.

Does this product have an expiration date?

No, there is no expiration date, but store properly and discard if consistency changes.

Troubleshooting

Component slipping after application.

Ensure a thin, even layer was applied. Check torque specifications and tighten as needed. Reapply if necessary, ensuring all surfaces are clean.

Compound dries out or becomes sticky.

Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is securely fastened after use.

Difficulty disassembling components after use.

Apply appropriate force, ensuring you do not damage the component. If necessary, use a plastic or rubber mallet to gently tap the components apart.
