Glass splinters ? Then I think you will be required to cover your wheels when not in the arena.

I think Helmut is more referring to glass powder...
The splinters are very tiny, (smaller than 0,5 mm). The engineer in the factory told me, this mix give the best grip on a wooden floor. in former times they used quartz- sand for this purpose, but the glass splinters give better results. i plan to cover the wheels, if necessary with a piece of wood.
Ok, helmut, But Im located in Holland, so Id like to try and find a company neirby ! oh, and Il looking for only 6mm of coating.
The rubber on our wheels is simply glued on with Loctite 415 (normal rubber on steel). We didnt have any problems yet.
6 mm should be cheaper, because it depends also on the weight.
maybe they can help you to find a company in the netherlands:
