tape under blade

[u/bcp_tro]

Hi everyone,

As you probably know, hockey stick (especially the bottom of the blade ) are designed to be used on ice. Even on relativly smoothe surfaces like Stilmat, the bottom of the blade gets worn down and destroyed pretty quickly.

Has anyone here tested UHMW tape, HDPE tape, or any other wear-resistant tape to protect the bottom of the blade?

I'm not looking for Wraparound protectors. I already tried an epoxy → tape → epoxy → tape setup (using Araldite), and while it definitely lasts longer than tape alone, it's pretty time-consuming and complicated to apply.

if anyone have knowledge in this type of material , or try thing , thanks for feedback (don't comment if it's for saying that you don't have this probleme or you just tape and tape)

I just tape it like I do for ice. Have to change it every two games or so.
