Today while playing at a sloppy, wet course I had a thought. Could I apply a layer of Rain-X to my discs? It goes on and then buffs off to make the water bead up. There would be no "detectable thickness". Would this be illegal?

Then again, "stick-um" type products are accepted - and those do leave a detectable presence and thickness on the disc...

I would say it's legal, because it does't have any detectable thickness, and doesn't change the weight or flight of your disc.
Kind of like coloring your whole disc with a sharpie = legal.

I would say its not illegal but I wouldnt try it on any of the discs you normally throw cuz I would guess that your discs will be SUPER SLICK after applying it!!!

But hey give it a try on a couple random discs and let us know how it goes!!!

Along those lines, around 15 to 20 years ago after cleaning the interior of my car, I had the �brainstorm� of using Armor All on my discs. Hey, it did wonders on the plastics in the car and made them look like new, so it would have to do the same for the discs, right? Well, after repeated scrubbings and other efforts, I still couldn�t grip the discs until a couple of months later. Some of my friends still laugh when the subject of Armor All comes up.

Why not use silicon spray ( found at most automotive retailers ) . Oldschooler's and freestyler's use it, why not disc golfers. I personally do not have many grip issues when it's wet, but it could help others.... Just my .02

I believe he is looking FOR grip..??

Silicone spray would make it "slippery" Freestylers use it to REDUCE friction.

RainX...could it help your disc move thru the air in a Rain Storm?? quite possibly because of its water shedding propertys.. :eek:
:D

:oThat reminds me of how I tried to really get hauling a$s sledding on a giant inner-tube, I greased it up with olive oil, set the tube delicately on the edge of the slope, got a huge running start, once I hit the tube it only budged about an inch before my momentum somersaulted me over the top. Oil on snow= instant brakes. :D
