    Just a theory

    After rubbish run over the Guisborough moors wearing my Mizuno Harriers i had a thought!
    For one ,these shoes are rubbish no real grip on mud or rock,i remember reading somewhere that if you put a certain type of oil ,Eucaliyptus or something on rubber it will make it tacky.
    I am not certain of the oil so if there is anyone who knows give us a post .
    If this works we may solve the wet rock problem and have something for the Dragons Den!

    Nice theory but wouldn't it wear off if you had say a road or hard track section before you got to the rocky terrain?

    My hope is that there is an oil that gives us a permanent state of stickiness.
    A dream, i know.

    Chewing gum on carpets
    or
    Old carpets round the bar

    are the only things I know that retain stickyness

    Joliver Jim seems to keep lots of male forum members in a permanent state of stickiness.

    I'm guessing that as oils go, she's crude rather than refined...

    We used to use this to soften old rally tyres that had gone hard.
