There is NOTHING that will remove a powder coating. The process is similar to car paint. I used acetone on mine to get black scuff marks off it all the time.
Luvlee…when you take it down, clean the threads and then I would suggest using a silicone grease or antiseize grease on the threads before putting it back up. If it has not been taken apart you may have issues getting it apart and may have to purchase the heavy duty release tools:

I do not know where you live so this may or may not help:
Stripped X locking set screw. This is the set screw that keeps the pole locked into the stage. I am not really sure how you strip stainless but we manageed to do it….twice. I have an idea on how this happened and it comes down to being in a rush to set up/take down poles and not having the hex key in all the way. M8x8 is the set screw that you need to replace them. The ones that XPoles uses have an oval bottom….I have been unsuccessful in finding those (and those that know me and my searching capabilities, seriously, these things are next to impossible to find). The standard cone bottom will work just fine. Lowes and Home Depot do not carry metric set screws. I ended up at a little ACE Hardware store. Also, The Grabit Broken Bolt and Screw Extractor, size 2 is what you will want/need to get this screw out. I tried a few different styles and this one by far is the best in this situation. I got mine at Lowes for about $8. http://www.lowes.com/pd_51624-41877-8502P_0__?productId=1209143&Ntt=grabit+screw+extractor&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dgrabit%2Bscrew%2Bextractor&facetInfo=

I was back on the stainless Monday night and did not have any issues however the studio was warm and there was a class right before we got there. I was on one of the 45s most of the night and ouchies!

I have always loved Karols side climb…I think it is because she gets her legs so far apart when she climbs.
The side climb starts about 3:40ish

This thread may help:

You may also want to contact Erica at PS and see if she has any advice.

Um, Alethea and Karol will be together again in Michigan at the Showcase. Very few tix left if you want to go. Most of teh workshops are sold out but Alethea just came on board (yesterday) and they have not even announced her workshops yet.

YAY!!! Some times your mind just has to process a move before you can execute it.
-
When I do this move I use a "piece of property" right behind my hip bone and at the top of my butt. People who have more flexy to their back and arms can use more of the top of their butt, hence putting them in front of the pole. This way if you have flexy hip flexors you can also get the legs higher in the air.

Spins on spin mode and spins on static are two totally different creatures. Veena nailed it….you were probably over gripping due to being used to doing that on spin mode and then torqued your wrists.

This was supposed to be the link

I had the information from BodyBlast and I cannot seem to locate the information. There is a company that she dealt with….basically it was how they install indoor volleyball nets:
I will continue to try to find the info.
