How do I use Gorilla Gold?
The convenient towel allows you to control the amount of tack you apply and
where on your hands you want it applied. For example, some players report
that just a touch on their fingertips does the trick, while some receivers
prefer to squeeze the towel so that it covers their hands or gloves. The
general rule of use is simple: use it lightly for a little tack, and squeeze
harder for more tack.

Is Gorilla Gold a “tack cloth” like I can get at the hardware store?

Gold is manufactured and formulated to deposit a residue onto the primary surface
(hands and gloves) to which it's applied.
