Instructions for use:

The cushion can be rotated then reversed to maximise longevity. They can also be moved down the stick towards the frog to take up hair stretching and protect the stick.

1. Remove the bow frog , there is no need to remove the existing leather grip, or any other grip. Apply a miniscule amount of silicon grease, washing-up liquid or petroleum jelly lubricant (such as Vaseline), even baby powder can be used, to the inside of one end of the cushion.

2. Push the cushion evenly and gently onto the bow stick, and ease gently up towards the leather grip. The thin leading edge tends to tuck under, so ease the lip over the existing grip by flicking it up carefully with your fingernail. They should not tear, they are very durable, and will stretch.

3. Continue to ease and push onto the grip. You might find the cushion tends to compress a little. Once the cushion is on ease it a little the other way to achieve full length, and even it out, and then adjust to the correct position.

4. Replace the frog, taking great care to align the screw correctly

5. The cushion can be removed, and reversed when worn, to double its life, or rotated to move any worn section to the other side, so doubling its life.

6. NB: The neoprene type material is non-toxic, will not damage the bow if used sensibly, as per instructions. Do not cut it off when removing to replace the cushion, as any blade might damaged the underlying grip, or stick itself, best is avoid sharp tools here. There will be a video link posted here soon to demonstrate the above.
