Venom
« on: September 05, 2008, 06:32:39 AM »
I don't know if anyone else has had trouble with their venom being too swirly at box finish or not, but I was, so I decided to take the polish off with 2000 abralon then go up to 4000 abralon and boy what a difference that makes.  Its a monster now, gives me so much area on a fresh house shot.  Just thought id throw out a suggestion for anyone having trouble with theirs.

Mike, i had to do the same thing for a psycho i drilled for a customer. it was squirty as well, so i hit it with 2k abralon, and then put some factory finish on it and it rolls great for him.

really?  I was lucky enough that Shawn Morris, regional salesman from the east region, sent them to me and ive thrown them both and I kinda had that reaction from both of them, but I figured id change the surface on the Venom first then try the pyscho.  I just can't get a feel for either one of them.  I like how the pyscho rolls but its so unpredictable.  I was hoping itd be a piece that I could move in with when the heads started to go, but so far im not sure when to throw it.

if its still a little squirty, try eitheer 2k and no polish, or maybe try 1k and polish.

the 1k with polish will still clear the heads, but rev up a little sooner, so hopefully you could get the reaction you want, when going inside.

let us know what you try and the results.

good luck!

I didn't like the Psycho OOB (too jumpy/unpredictable), took it down to 1000+polish and I love it.
