I tried some more household products as compounds, most failed miserable but the ez off oven cleaner add's a fair about of traction but still not as much as the California Baby SPF30 or the Olay complete UV moisture lotion. O yer if you ever want to take traction out of foams try honey, I know it sounds weird but I coated some and rubbed it in, the foams soaked up the honey and my purple foams felt like blues.
