Threadless wraps

I have been having pretty bad carpal tunnel flare ups recently, and cant wrap right now, so I am going to be trying a threadless wrap with permaseal by U40, I searched but didnt see much info on it. Anyone done it yet? Anything I should be wary of? Also how long do I need to let the permaseal sit out drying before I lay it on? Thanks for any tips!

Yes Tom. I have that issue and got the idea from that. It is a great article, I just have to find the magazine in my pile of periodicals lol. I was just hoping for some first hand experience, and some dos and donts.

I think most of those are spelled out in the article, along with the recommended wait time before applying the PG.

Only additional thing I can think of is a reminder not to brush the PG around - that will cause bubbles and this stuff sets quickly enough that such bubbles tend to remain. Load the brush, hold it above the area you wish to coat, lower the brush to the rod and rotate the rod under the brush. Then move over and do it again.
