Post Bizarre use of Gator Glide
So told a guy that I that work with occasionally about Gator Glide and showed him a video of how slick it was. He was so impressed he bought some (he doesn't have a boat or anything he's just interested in random projects). Well he apparently inflated an inner tube and and coated the whole bottom half with gator glide and is using it on a slip'n'slide he built for his kids. He said they had to tear down a section of the fence and make a door to pass through because they were going so far on the new and improved tube! He said its holding up great too even though its a flexible surface. Now he's working on a giant sling shot made from bungee jumping cords to launch people across the yard on the tubes.

I've actually wondered if it would make my jet sled slide better across marsh grass and mud. May give it a try.

I'm sure it would. It'll reduce friction on any surface. Frog said he has guys buy it for snow sleds and stuff. Prolly work well on a shovel and a concrete mixer too. Lol. Might need to get recoated often though.

GatorGlide is on snow removal equipment (from loaders to snow shovels), inside feeders, Mattress companies use it as a glue release, so does 3M, dump truck bed liners and dumpters, waste water treatment facilities, inside lawn mower decks, wheel barrows, all kinds of farm equipment ( hoppers, slides for sprinklers ie. Irrigation nozzles, plows ect…) off loading and garbage shoots, offshore, inshore, mud, air and commercial boats and now slip and slides :o :idea: Im sure I left some things out

Post Re: Bizarre use of Gator Glide
I have a OLD camoed jet ski that is fully coated in GG on the hull. I use it to hunt a couple of spots where you have to go through a couple miles of a ditch/shallow creek. Works great. I pull a small fiberglass decoy boat with my decoys and a partner. We're the only ones who hunt that all year long because its a pain to get to.

I have rope attached to the front and have towed it across cornfields (dry and snow) to get it back to the pickup.

That's my most unusual use for it.

It originally had the rooster tail, but we did something to the tubing that shot it out so it goes down into the water. I don't remember what exactly we did, but I'll take a picture of that too.

Gatorglide and an amsoil sticker should give about an extra 10mph on a river gnat, huh? :lol:

I had a little left over when I did my boats, so a grabbed a couple of snow shovels and did them. Next time I'm going to order more and do the snowplow and the tunnel on the snowmobile. It would make an amazing undercoating on a truck to keep mud and snow from sticking.
