4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Looking to coat part of the 511 boot knife I got. Its all bare metal and I want to do the handle in either black or tan. Any one got any pointers? I figure its just ruff it up, some clean it, dip it, let dry, then dip and dry a few more times right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Used it in 8th grade metal shop a hundred years ago to coat 1/8" rope coiled around a dowel - to make a handle on a hammer (we cast the head, that's why it was a metal shop project).Still using the hammer, the coating has held up great.I wouldn't suggest putting it on yer johnson.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thinking about trying the Rhino lining or under coating stuff that you use on fender wells for a ruff pattern. Heard you can get it in a quart can for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomike Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 That might work better than plasti dip. If you prepare the metal right it will probably last longer too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPDLR Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ive used the spray on rubber coat for tool handles and with enough coats... its what you want. Im sure the dip is much thicker. It adheres well too...the spray on did. But i just sanded, cleaned with thinner and sprayed. I used it on Bike stand spool cradle to keep from scratching the swingarm.

Ill bet your thinking about everything that you could use it on. Good luck! When i sprayed my cradles i just did it on the steel table top at work and later after it dried i was able to peel the over spray off in one piece. Its heavy duty. :badgerrock:I also used the spray on the chains for my snow plow. Its held up much better than just paint. My dad has some tools that were my Gramps' from eons ago that he dipped the handles in...That Plasti Dip, if thats what it was back then, is still on there.
