What kind of texture does this product dry to? Does it leave a rubberized type surface or a grit type surface?

I use it for my dog's feet when running agility. I believe it helps her with traction and it does not come off onto the floor surface. The directions say "if your hands get dusty, wipe with a damp cloth." After we walk from crate area to ring, I spray her feet with water to get rid of anything she may have picked up on the way. Before answering, I sprayed some on my hand to see what it was like. It is colorless, smooth, and tacky, not gritty. It dried to a tacky surface in about 30 seconds. I washed my hand with soap/water and there was still some tackiness left. Although not annoying, the residual came off easily with Skin So Soft...probably any oil or lotion would work. Hope this helps. I use it for my dog's feet when running agility. I believe it helps her with traction and it does not come off onto the floor surface.

Neither. I would say it's more like if you were to spray hairspray in your hands. It's momentarily sticky but it goes away and leaves a nice dry but firm "grip". Wears off quickly. Washes off easily.

I do not know what grit or type of particles are used. What I can tell you is that this is really terrific stuff. I use it on a leather strop for the final polish and the edge it leaves is definitely a razor edge. Quickly removes the scratch marks of my 1200 grit diamond stone.

I found directions online that recommended using dry rice to help eliminate the grit and dust. So I ground rice first and then washed with soap and water. This worked great.

It is a hard rubber with a textured surface. It will cause a little friction but not much.

I did not reuse any of the grit from any of the 4 steps. The post tumble solutions are very chalky and thick. The grit is relatively inexpensive so I just disposed of the residue from each step. I have only completed two batches so I am open to anyone else's suggestions.

It sounds like you have a standard "grinder" that typically uses metal or concrete grinding or cut off wheels. If you are considering using your grinder for the concrete polishing pads consider that these polishing pads will work dry BUT they will burn out quickly and it will be difficult to get an even smooth appearance. In my experience they aren't best used dry but with a wet polisher. I only use the pads with a wet polisher - mine is a makita and it works great. I recently did 3 countertops - one was about 2x11 and the others were much smaller. The pads worked very well. With projects the size of mine you will need multiple pads per grit. Hope this helps.

Yes, this does dry to more of a clear plastic consistency. Perhaps you needed a lacquer.

Sounds like the rubber is gone. This product protects, and can help with dryness, but cannot restore ruined rubber

I have used the Rotex for bringing up the gloss and knocking down the orange peel from spraying on polyurethane and also on epoxy barcoat finishes. I used it in the rotary mode ending with 4000 grit paper and a bit of water or mineral spirits. I also used the hard felt and soft pads after the 4000 grit, but honestly they didn't seem to make much difference, the 4000 grit was the real ticket. I can't speak to other polishing scenarios, but the Rotex worked well in these cases.

The silicone component should always generate a filmy, "slippery" texture feel so long as there is NOT residue build-up (if it stops feeling slippery then it ceases to fulfill its purpose). Some people describe it as a tacky feeling. If you are worried about residual grease, a typical dish detergent should eliminate all residues when washing in hot water. Many people have said that wiping with a dry towel once the Silpat sheet is "dry" also helps eliminate any additional oils. Personally, I store mine between sheets of parchment or butcher paper, and I always wipe them down with a damp cloth before each use.

You tighten / loosen a screw to adjust your grind. I keep an eye on the ground material and adjust the screw if needed as I go. As mentioned in other reviews, multiple grindings may be needed for your desired texture.

It dries to a light beige color, similar to light wood. Depending on how thick of a layer you use, it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours for it to dry. It layers well though so you can keep adding on over time. It fixed the chewed corners of our table really well. We sanded it down and stained it so it looks like nothing ever happened.

It does not fully dissolve. If mixed with water and left sitting, a sediment will develop. I don't notice a gritty texture as long as the drink is freshly stirred.

I mix it with water and use as a bead lube when mounting. Works great and wipes off easily with wet rag. Drying out has not been a problem

What do you mean? Like is it a gel texture? It comes out very smooth and thin

I've never used sandpaper smoother than 120 grit for ANYTHING. If you have to rough up a surface, especially one as hard as ceramic tile, I would think you'd have to start with an 80 grit, then go to a 120 to smooth it out. Another poster said he used the same rougher grits and that Rustoleum gave him free product because their directions were so vague (which caused his first try to fail from the paint bubbling). You have to remove all the gloss, not just rough it up, if you want it to adhere for years. As long as your circular design is not slick and glossy, and is a part of the tub itself (and not a stick-on like caulk), then it should cover well.

It doesn't dry hard and crusty, it will stay more to the latter. In my usage it feels like it's not even there after a day of wearing it.
