Product Overview
P-tex repair material by itself does not bond well to steel, aluminum, wood, or fiberglass...so if you get a deep gouges that expose core material, or are along steel edges, P-Tex likely won't stay in place. Metalgrip string is a mix of polyethylene and heat-sensitive adhesive which is melted using our P-Tex Base Repair Iron into core-shot gouges or along steel edges. Metalgrip is softer than pure P-Tex repair material, for best results apply a thin layer of Metal grip, allow it to cool, then apply a layer of P-Tex String or P-Tex Repair Ribbon over the top. This will increase the durability and longevity of your repair.
- Metalgrip string is 5mm thick.
- Available in black or clear.
- Sold as a 5-foot (1.5m) length.

5 It worked with ptex wouldn't
Posted by Unknown on Feb 07, 2013
I had a pretty bad core shot right up against an edge and my ptex repairs would always rip out within a single day of skiing. I gave metalgrip a shot and my repair has held up to about 10 days of skiing now, with no signs of wear. It wasn't hard to work with at all, I find ptex ribbon harder to solder than this stuff. I'm sold.

4 Much tougher than P-Tex

This stuff is tough as nails. Takes some getting used to melting it on but once you get the hang of it, it works well

4 easy

Easy to use, but didn't create a very strong bond with the base. It came out the first couple times I used it, but I am a beginner when it comes to ski repair.

4 Works a treat!
Posted by Doug on Aug 01, 2012
I used this to repair a long core short in my snowboard. I put metalgrip in first then ptex string over the top all applied with the TOgnar repair iron. So far it has worked a treat. Takes a little practise to get used to but you get the hang of it quickly. Highly recommended! :)

5 This saved my board
Posted by Unknown on Oct 26, 2011
I had a gouge taken out along the edge of my board that everytime I repaired it would pop out first run, even after taking it in to a professional shop it still popped out first run. I finally got this stuff and applied along the metal edge with the iron and fallowed it up with some p-tex striping to fill in the remaining void space, this lasted me the rest of the season. Takes a little practice but very useful stuff when used correctly.
