5. A method of preventing stretch film from adhering to the surfaces of an agricultural round baler wrapping mechanism comprising the steps of:
providing an agricultural round baler having a multi-component dispensing mechanism for wrapping a bale with stretch film from a roll thereof, some of said components having surfaces that contact the stretch film during the wrapping process; and
treating said surfaces by the addition of a layer of paint containing a grit-like material to reduce the wettability thereof sufficiently to prevent the stretch film from adhering to said surfaces.
