3M Tape for Sliding? PPF Film

[GoalieNut]

Does anyone know which 3M tape Miklin uses on their pads?  Apparently they use it on the knee and calf landing.

3m tape would usually be sticky, because it’s tape? Not sure how that would cause sliding.

Typically, a polyurethane tape similar to that used to protect the body and headlights of a car from stones is used. quite popular mod in Russia, especially among non-professionals

because the sticky side is glued to the skin. elementary

Isn’t the backing just like plastic or something

You can see what I mean in this youtube video around the 12 minute mark:

This tape itself is a PU foil material with an adhesive backing. used to protect cars from stones. the Russians came up with the idea of sticking it on the rubbing surfaces of the pads. it really glides very well and protects parts of the pad from premature abrasion. verified

I'm trying to find out the official name of the product so that I can purchase it.  Anyone know?

I suppose on request "3m polyurethane film for a car" you can find an acceptable option. there is still no exact data on the thickness and type used by Miklin. although you can try writing to him directly. maybe answer

I did not own it myself, but judging by the reviews, it is a very decent gear. all materials used are the same or the same manufacturers as those used by North American gear manufacturers. there is an English-language overview of their products on YouTube

Will def check that out! Thanks. I wonder what times are like right now. Even though it would be traveling across the world it still might come faster than CCM Bauer Brian’s etc

Would a layer of tape . I guess a clear tape. Say gorilla tape, then a layer of shoe goo. It seems to harden and be very tough to wear. Had it on a repair on a shoe. Lasted long. The tape under the goo would help protect the pad if things dont work out. Just peel it off.

Shoe Goo dries to a rubbery blob.  You would not want that anywhere near your pads.

Shoe Goo is great for sealing up cuts, what are you talking about?

I'm assuming he is talking about using this stuff on sliding edges.  Why else would he want slick tape?

Shoe goo over the slippery tape would defeat the purpose of putting the tape there in the first place

Shoe goo under the slippery tape would create uneven edges, causing the tape to wear through quicker

[raidersgoalie]

Or any kind of tape. Just to protect the pad if things dont go as planned. Any tape on the the sliding surface or just the knee landing area then the shoe goo on top of the tape.  Just a thought if it would work.

[Chenner29]

There seems to be some disconnect here

The tape in question is being used on the sliding surface of the pad to enhance the slide

Putting Shoe Goo over that is going to negate any benefit of the tape

[CJ Boiss]

Shoe Goo works great on shoes precisely because it has a high friction coefficient.

A high friction coefficient is the exact thing you want to avoid on the sliding surface of your pads.
