I definitely don't suggest coating and sanding the pole like the other poster suggested. You don't know how that will actually affect the pole's material, or how it will respond to repeated use and wear. If you want a more slippery pole, I suggest you try to sell your powder pole or just buy a brass or chrome pole. Brass is still pretty sticky, that's the material the poles in our strip club are and I can do a backwards hang in jeans. Chrome is much more slick... I would never be able to do the same hand unless I have bare skin on it. I dance and teach on a chrome x-pole at home... they're the same price and much harder to use. If you learn on chrome, you can use anything! GOOD LUCK!<br><b>References : </b><br>pole instructor and dancer Well powder poles are great for poses, tricks and more gymnastic type moves, but not good for spins and more fluid movements.

For a surface to be slippery, it must be smooth. A powder coated surface isn't smooth, it's more similar to fine sandpaper. Even if you put some sort of lubricant on it, it will still be a rough surface which will resist being slippery. Now you see why stripper poles are usually polished brass, which is a smooth surface. Aside from changing to a brass pole, the only chance you have to make a powder coat pole slippery is to smooth the surface. Instead of sanding off the powder coat, you can put a clearcoat on top of the powder coat which you can sand smooth. First, scrub the pole with mineral spirits to remove any dirt and oils imbedded in the powder coat. Then apply a coat of polyurathane. Poly for floors dries harder and is probably your best bet. Then lightly sand it with 220 grit sandpaper to knock down the high spots. You will need to apply at least 5 coats of polyurathane to fill in the rough surface of the powder coat, sanding in between each coat. Eventually, the many coats of poly will fill in the rough surface of the powder coat and you will be able to sand it to a completely smooth surface. When you reach that point, however many coats that may take, give it 1 final thin coat and do not sand afterwards. This will result in a smooth surface that will be more slippery.<br><b>References : </b><br> The problem is that it is powder coated. For a surface to be slippery, it must be smooth.
