I too am curious as to how to use the SuperGrip compound on a seatpost. Normally, I would lightly grease the entire post (from the clamp area on down) with some Phil grease. With these gripping compounds, do you still use regular grease on the post but apply the grip compound to the area where the binder or seatpost clamp grips the post? Or are you supposed to use the grip compound on the entire post in lieu of regular grease?
The Nitto S83 on my Gus has started slipping just a bit. I've torqued the binder bolt to 10 nm, but I'm afraid to tighten it much more than that because I don't want to break it. Most other bike I've had, I've tightened to no more than 8 nm, and they've held fine. This is the first post I've had that has had slippage issues.
