Lube up my lips before a roll?
Lube up my lips before a roll?
I'm going to clean up the arches tonight and give them a layer of sealant + a wax, but I'm wondering if I should also spread a layer of dielectric grease on the underside of the arches as well to make sure that any water which might get trapped in the rolled lip in the future is repelled?
Sound sensible, or OTT?
Hoping to book archenemy to come down my way tomorrow and roll my rear lips ready to accept my refurbed 9J's.

Then they use like a black silicone sealant for when it gets rolled.
They also heat up the outside of the arch prior to rolling.
So you dont need to do anything , there is no point. you are paying them to do the job and they know what they are doing. I've had mine done for about 2 years now without any problems

They give it a good clean with a wire brush to get rid of all the dirt in the lip.

From the thread title I had no idea what this was about! Wasn't sure if you wanted to apply lube to your lips before eating a roll :laugh:

Haha, I was gonna try and twist it into some dodgy innuendo but then remembered that this is a family forum

That's good to know, that's exactly what I did when I rolled my own arches :lol:
