STEP 1: Position the grip

• Slide the sleeve onto the rod.
• Rotate the logo/text as desired.
• Leave roughly 1/2" of skin sticking out past the end. (A helpful way to measure this is using a water bottle cap - especially for boiling water installations).

STEP 2: FORM GRIP

Use at least a 1.5L electric kettle (water must be rapidly boiling with a temperature above 100°C/212°F) or a 1500W heat gun.

Boiling Water

• Position the rod handle-side down in a sink.
• Keep the rod standing straight up and resting on the water bottle cap.
• As soon as the water has boiled, pour water into the sleeve and watch the Sniper Skin shrink!
• Continue pouring water until the kettle/pot is empty.
• Cool off with cold water

Heat Gun

• Stand the rod upright and begin rotating the rod
• Hold the heat gun 6" from the Sniper Skin
• Starting at the bottom of the grip, apply heat until the entire base has shrunk tightly to the shaft.
• Continue rotating the grip and slowly move the heat up towards the unshrunk region until the grip has completely shrunk to the rod.
• Becareful not to overheat/melt the grip

STEP 3: TRIM OFF EXCESS MATERIAL

• Using Sharp Scissors, trim off the excess material.
• Reheat trimmed areas and press against a hard surface to create a smooth finish.
