No one likes to be the sweaty one in a group where everyone else seems to be perfectly dry. It’s embarrassing to be concerned about your sweat spots and body odor. It’s even worse when you have excessive back sweating never knowing if it’s showing up to others or not.

There are techniques to help deal with back sweating. Some of these mask the sweating while others attempt to reduce overall sweating so that you can be more comfortable.

Get breathable clothing. Clothing can sometimes cause or make the situation worse. Find clothing that is breathable and reduces sweat. Lighter clothes will tend to feel cooler but show more sweat while darker clothes are warmer but can mask sweat. It might be advisable to look into synthetic undershirts made for runners as they are designed to wick away sweat and dry faster.

Use antiperspirant on your back. Antiperspirant can be used on other parts of the body. The same concepts there for your back sweating problem. The only issue with this is that it’s harder to apply all by yourself.

Get a beaded seat cover in your car. One of the big sources of back sweat stains happens when you are driving in your vehicle. The beaded seat cover, although not as comfortable, lets your back have a bit more air helping to reduce the sweat stains. It’s a good technique to avoid showing up already sweaty.

Try body powders to dry out the skin. Body powders are made for the hands, armpits, and feet to dry out sweat. These can also be used on the back to help prevent sweating.

Use natural solutions to sweat control like vinegar or limes. One technique for sweat is to apply limes or use vinegar, normally malt or white, to the problem area when it’s completely dry. Then let the limes or vinegar dry out completely. It’s best to do this at night before bed as these can cause staining to clothing.

Reduce the body’s overall sweating. There are a variety of factors that lead the body to sweat. When sweating your problem area like your back will show the most. Reducing the body’s overall sweat will keep your back much more dry. Things like drinking plenty of water, a healthier diet, and exercise do actually assist in making the body more efficient with cooling itself and regulating body temperature. You will also reduce body mass which in excess heats up the body.

In the wheel industry monoblock and 3 piece are two of the most popular types of forged wheels. The terms “monoblock” and “3 piece” refer to the construction of the wheel, but the similarities end there. In fact, there are many differences between the two types that make each ideal for different kinds of automotive applications.

Monoblock wheelsare also referred to as “one-piece” wheels, meaning that they are forged into a single part without any removable components. During the manufacturing process a monoblock wheel begins as a single, round block of 6061-T1 aluminum alloy. The aluminum block is compressed and subjected to intense heat which creates a dense grain structure and forms a round, blank piece of metal. The single piece of aluminum alloy is then flow-formed and placed in a CNC milling machine where the spokes are formed to finish the manufacturing process.

Being that monoblocks are made from a single piece of aluminum alloy, they are the lightest of forged wheels. Their low weight is sought after as they help to reduce unsprung mass which can reduce acceleration times, enhance braking, and improve handling. Monoblock wheels are often less expensive than their 2- or 3-piece forged counterparts, as fewer parts are used for construction. However, if a monoblock wheel is damaged or bent they are difficult to repair, often requiring a complete wheel replacement.

3 piece forged wheels offer different advantages over monoblocks, mostly from a styling standpoint. A 3 piece wheel has three main parts: a center, the outer hoop or “lip”, and the inner hoop. The manufacturing process of 3 piece wheels is similar to that of a monoblock, except more aluminum alloy blocks are used due to the increased number of parts. After all of the pieces are milled, they are fastened together using a number of perimeter bolts and sealed using Silicone RTV.

The construction of 3 piece forged wheels allows manufacturers the ability to offer a wider range of widths and fitments for customers. 3 piece wheels are also the most customizable as any of the components can be easily painted or chromed to create a unique color scheme. If they sustain any damage it can be readily replaced. In addition, 3 piece forged wheels retain the highest resale value amongst used wheels. 3 piece wheels are not without their disadvantages. They are the most expensive forged wheels because of their multi-piece manufacturing, and if the RTV Silicone seal is broken, leaks can form.
