[alberty]

i have an idea,
so , to have a good ergonomie, i used a magical baloon on my sleeves.
see:

it's a good grip and easy to install.
what did you think about ?
have a better idea ?

That's something I wouldn't have thought to try...

Youve lost me a bit, do you mean you slid a balloon over your pick handles?

If so its a new one on me, you could also colour code them so you can easily find the pick your after.

[alberty]

yes, i slid a balloon over my pick handles
it's cheap and very efficient.
actualy, it's the best methode i have to make handles more usable and clean, so i 'll have a color teme, but i only have 15 pick. it's enough for me.

good idea, better than wraping with electrical tape I'm sure.

To some it may seem bulky but I like to use shrink wrap on my handles. It doesn't obscure the pick in any way and its nonslip grip is very durable.

Just wondering Einzee, how do you make them stick?

I think he was talking about shrink wrap.

I'm not sure if I read this here somewhere, but I would guess, after shrinking it onto the handle, maybe make a small groove for it to get caught on? ... I don't know.

after a lot of use, magical baloon are not usable.
shey are never clean , move too, and break all time.

shrink wrap was the better solution.

thanks for all.

Hes talking about the shrink wrap that many use on electrical wires to seal them from the elements.

Basically you slide the tube over the handle end of your pick then apply heat the wrap then shrinks down around the handle giving a very nice smooth and non slip grip that holds up for a very long time.

Ive used shrink wrap also and it works very well there is good feel to the pick and it doesn't slip in the hand at all. I don't try to use the same wrap for multiple handles instead I put it around each pick handle as a permanent fixture.

you can allso heat heat shrink / shrink wrap that has a glue coated inside. when it's heated/ shrunk, the glue becomes sticky and sticks when cool. Dunno about price though.

Just had an idea for glow in the dark pick handles using a product from the local drug store, but I'm not gonna try it .

Ahh, the other kind of magic balloon.

That is true, it's the only product sold in anti-family packs. I'm sure it is time to get back on to the real topic of the post.
