Few facts.
It sells for around $7 to $8 per meter length plus Gst. There a heap of listers but the one I found which was a little more expensive but quicker to ship and arrives usually with in a week or 10 days.
The criss cross pattern is flush and cant be felt. As I said I have had no sailing time atm but isn't soft. I would guess its thinner than normal boom grip and not as soft. I think it will be harder wearing but time will tell.

Oldskool, I hope your wrong but time will tell.

i've used turps too. it worked well

NotWal n Haircut, after using turps did you have to clean off the 'oily' residue left? Would it affect bonding of heatshrink or contact cement?

I don't know if it matters but I wiped it down with acetone afterwards.

I wiped the arms with metho then used quick grip to glue the new stuff on. I don't recall any issues.

How does this rubber wrap with for blisters? Do we need padding on a boom grip? My severne is almost bare find wokew my streamlined has a thick padding which i tried to send down to reduce hgri size as well!

Finally while not simply patch damaged areas in the first place?

What, just heat shrink on the bald patches? Or maybe that self fusing silicon tape?

Yes, really no need to do an entire boom if only a few areas are damaged no? I bought a pretty badly regripped boom, and I just cut it, stretch it out and reglued it.
