sticking is not the problem.......

you can tell if its a problem when the bottom of your ray gets pink or red, its a sign of rawness from rubbing

what type of sand are you using?
 
If there is is not red, or pink color on the underside of them they are fine...they look good, and the substrate looks fine......just as long as it dont have silica in it:thumbsup:

Yep. :)
 
My sand sticks to my motoros, but they can shake it off when they don't want it on them. Just make sure it doesn't contain silica and watch out to see if their bellys get red.

Nice motoros by the way.
