It's actually a mixture of glue, alcohol, sugar, and water. I have been doing a little playing around with this mixture at the house and have come up with a concoction that does not smell the same but when heated gets a whole lot stickier. lol. I will try it out on the street this week and le you guys know how it works. If anyone know him it's gonna be tested on Froto's car but he is not gonna know til after the race.

Ha ha, good one.


I was going to try rubbing alcohol and corn syrup in the proportions outlined in the MSDS.

I'll but it and mix it, but since I've never run on it we'll need a volunteer. Any takers?



And Dave, throw that bitch a bone and get that **** done.

Rubbing alcohol and corn syrup does not work, trust me. It does not mix well, and will sperate, and even if you mix it before you pour it out, it does not get too sticky.

I also tried it with pine tar syrup and rubbing alcohol and that did not work either.

Granted I agree with you guys about how fucked up california is...... BUT!

I don't know if it was banned or not. It just isn't being made anymore. So whether it was banned or not doen't matter. PJ1 sold the vht line to sherwin williams over a year ago and SW is not interested in trackbite only paints. And I believe with the purchase of VHT that would include trackbite since PJ1 doesn't offer it anymore.

Anyways. Who has experince with LC6? I'll probably try some out soon.
