    ===========================
    Q/A Section:
    ===========================

    Q: Do I have to use signo-broad for the second grip section on the front?
    A: No. You can use another section of hyperjell, but beware it'll be a tincy bit more front heavy.

    Q: Isn't this just a KuZu Knockoff?
    A: The thing that makes this special is that extra bit of filing on the front and the lightening of the backcap coming from a traditional Kuzu.

    you mean the sandpaper or file slips and hits the body and not the nubs right?

    I think you just have to take extra care cuz wehn I get impatient and go into rage mode, I tend to start rubbing the body on the sandpaper really fast and this causes me to lose control and often my bodies get scraped in various places.

    wrap duct tape on the body and on the threads to avoid damaging them =]

    I used white Vinyl Tape. I didn't have any white electrical (thinner) tape left.
