Plasti-Dip

If you have ever used a pair of old metal tools you prolly wished that the handles could be more comfortable or have better grip. The product Plasti-Dip does just that, you dip your tool handles in this liquid rubber and when it dries it creates a rubber hanlde.


Well that product has been out for years! I remember doing it as a kid. But as of recent it has come in a spray can. This has opened up a whole new craze. Plasti-Dip only bonds with itself, meaning no matter what you spray it on it will form a cured bond with itself not what it is sprayed on. So people have been coming up with very creative ways to use such awesome stuff. They sell it in a variety of colors with the original being matte black.

I have seen people paint entire cars with it, seen it used as a screen protector for phones, and have also seen it used as a place to set stuff on a car dash so it doesnt slide. The best part is that the product is cheap, durable and totally removable.

I have used it to paint my friends truck. Everything you see used to be chrome, and when he wants it to be chrome again he can peel it off. But if he wants it to stay it will not come off easy.

It may seem as though it is to good to be true but I have yet to see and example of when it fails to be exactly as I described.

 

Most recently I used it for my new cell phone, I removed the back and sprayed 4 coats of plasti dip, this did two things for me: 1. It gave my slim phone a nice grip feeling while not being thick and bulcky like a case. 2. It preserves the look of the phone and protects it from damage, and when I want it gone I can just pick a corner and work it back.

 

It has so many more amazing uses. It self levels and fills in scratches, it allows easy work for stuff that is raised (you can paint all over without taping and just peel off what you dont like and since it self levels anywhere there is a gap is cuts itself perfectly.), and so many more.

 

I love the stuff!!
