 Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | I hate training tacky free - it feels wrong! We cleaned ours with a blow torch and a scraper once. Other than that, they remain caked. Worse in winter, in summer it's ok. My advice, just use more tacky to help stick  | ||
