> [@mullicabob](#): > > I know that Links ran his pc’d Maxbet into some beach sand if memory serves. That’s the equivalent of using sandpaper on it. If he should happen to read this hopefully he can comment on what the damage was like. Yup. It was a thin layer of sand on a wooden boardwalk, so there was a hard surface. Didn’t ding or anything, just had a slightly rough and dull patch in the powder. I feel that if I did the same with an ano’d yoyo, the damage would be much worse. ---

“Metallic slate silver” is what the manufacturer calls it and is much more “slate” like in the bag before it gets cooked. That is often the case with the colors as they change during the cure or vary in darkness or lightness depending how much is applied. ---
