I doubt I'm the only one that’s ever had troubles with nylon suspenders or straps sliding around at the most inopportune of times when moving and/or shooting. For many of us it’s more an annoyance than anything else but an issue that still has to be dealt with. From time to time I like to use a wrist coach/arm board to hold dope cards and some other info for my rifles when shooting a competition or at the range. What I don’t like is the smooth Cordura nylon backside sliding down my sleeve and no matter how tight I make the straps I can’t get it to stay put. Hopefully I fixed that today with my wife’s hot glue gun by running a bead along the backside of the arm board to give it some traction against my sleeve. The glue is fast drying and when it’s set up I noticed that it’s got some tack to it, which should help immensely.
Hot glue guns are stupid simple to use and I figure this technique can be extended to rifle slings, chest rigs, packs, or anything else that you want to have a little extra traction. I noticed on the Cordura that the glue sticks well but isn’t permanent because I was able to peel my first attempt off fairly easily once it dried. Learning that made me feel better so if I make a mistake or decide it's not working as well as I'd hoped I can return it to it's original condition. Hope this helps some of you out.
