In this video I demonstrate and explain how to reinforce and strengthen your case foam--specifically pick N' pluck foam. It is notorious for its shorter life span and inability to stand up to repetitive wear and time. Thru this process, it could conceivably last a lifetime!

Bought that exact same Apache case yesterday, even the same color! I've started doing the cutting, have to pick up a can of PlastiDip today. Good video, answered some questions I had - thanks!

I've got the large HF Apache case that I intend to use as an EDC storage case. Your video should help out. Wish I had seen it before I did my Husky case. Thanks

I went with the 4800 and just did 3 coats, will probably do one or two more just to be safe

Nice work! How did you manage to get the curves with the pick n pluck?

I tried to do this to my box and RUINED it. Coats were so heavy the foam actually shrunk a few inches all around. Good video, great info. Will definitely be more patient next time.

Bummer! Hope next time turns out better. Thanks for watching.

I did the same. Sucks.

Thanks for posting this. My logic was thicker coats will soak into the foam better, leading a more solidified end product. Seems I was wrong!

@rocketech lots of light coats is always the way to go with this stuff, even on say car parts or wheels

Hi. What about the smell of the paint when you close the case?

@chrislocke1042 Жыл бұрын

Could you do this first before you cut it? Does it smell after it dries?

@EdgeStoneKnives Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't do it before you cut or none of the inside areas will be sprayed. It does not smell once it dries and airs out.

@@EdgeStoneKnives I see your point on spraying after thank you

Any reason you can't use regular latex paint with a small roller?

Does it hold moisture

@EdgeStoneKnives 3 ай бұрын

I've never tested that but I'd think the foam would be fairly water resistant now

@CAKEY52010 Ай бұрын

What is the benefit of doing this ?

@EdgeStoneKnives Ай бұрын

It makes the foam infinitely more durable and resilient

You will save a lot of the Plasti-Dip if you sprayed both parts stacked together instead of apart.

@EdgeStoneKnives Жыл бұрын

It would be too hard to get it down into the narrower cutout areas.

@@EdgeStoneKnives Flip it over and spray from the opposite side once the first side dries.
