Rubberized paint type stuff revisited.

[Royce Meritt]

OK. Got the rubberized paint type finish stuff. You know, the stuff you can use to dip tool handles. It says you can also brush it on. WHAT A PAIN IN THE BACK-SIDE! The stuff is like trying to spread a booger with a paint brush. It is sticky and gooey but at the same time runny and slimy. If that doesn't describe a booger I don't know what does. My project is now full of runs, drips and sags. :mad:

Anyone else ever used this stuff? Any thought or suggestions?

I've only used it to dip handles and parts into. I found that you need to dip in and out slowly so more of the stuff stays on place with a thicker coating.

A tip for you! Where I used to work at a major plier manufacturing house, they dipped their plier handles in plastisol for soft grips. However, the plier handles were pretreated with a coating of lacquer before they got the plastisol treatment. It bonds the plastisol in place so that you have to peel it off one small piece at a time. The pliers were heated before dipping to make the stuff set up better.
