Transform Your Tools Instantly! Plasti Dip Revealed

I can't believe how many tools and tool handles and BLACK, and if you haven't noted, black does not stand out, it tends to blend in with other tools making black-handled tools harder to see. I purchased "Plasti Dip" a thick liquid plastic for specifically coating tool handles and other items like the DRILL PRESS KEY, which does not always get put back on the magnet of the drill press magnet column. I decided coating it RED with a plastic covering would be one way of helping the tool to stand out more and be easier to see, and USE ... but after I coated it, I was so impressed I decided to try other tools with black handles, like my wood router wrenches, the special screwdriver for my Incra Mitre gauge, some of the knobs for my wood jigs and even the handle for the fence on my table saw, WOW, what a difference it makes, all these tools now stand out because they are RED and not black. They are easier to use with better gripping plastic-like coating. So, in this video, we look at how to use Plasti Dip for tool handles to give them an easy-to-see rubber grip.

I'm in your camp, I also use a magnet to keep my chuck key on the drill press. Thanks for the video.

Back in the late eighties or early nineties, I used this stuff on some old Elliot Lucas pliers....apart from a slight blackening from having absorbed a little grease and oil they are still in really good condition!

@Lee-xu2wb Жыл бұрын

Same here. The dip has held up a lot better than I expected.

@AlbertaBushcrafter Жыл бұрын

I bought a can of the red stuff years ago and dipped several tools, and I prepped them just like you did. This stuff really holds up. But I didn't think about dipping my jig knobs at all. Great idea! And now I bet I'll see red and yellow tools and knobs all over your videos. 😊

It's nice to know I'm not the only one that looks for something so long that I forget what I was looking for. It also amazes me how I can loose something when I haven't moved. I swear there is a portal to another dimension in my shop.

I have dipped some hand tools in the past and I found that you can use a clean acid brush to do touch ups. Hard shiny plastic handles I found if I blast it in my media blast cabinet the Plasti-dip grabs the surface much better. Good video

For that chuck, could you have squeezed the can to an oval shape?

Really interesting stuff indeed, Colin! Thanks for the tip! 😃 I searched for it here in Brazil, but all I've found is a spray version. I'm skeptical, but I guess it's worth a try one of those days... 🤔 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

As long as it is genuine Plasti Dip, (in the UK it is marketed as Performix plasti dip) it should work.

@zerriox 10 ай бұрын

@@davidhull2060doesn't the spray get more like a foil.. I mean i know it will cause of the thinner layers but does it get more durable and stick on the object when spraying many coats..? I dont think its worth it cause you won't get as much out of one spraycan.. 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

I am going to do this with a different color for each tool’s tools. That way I’m not grabbing the Allen wrench for one tool and realizing it’s for the other tool. THANK YOU!

@photogra4 Жыл бұрын

Great video, very informative... Thank you. One tip I would suggest; if you're having trouble having the dip adhere to the shiny plastic, try hitting the plastic (aka HDPE = High Density Polyethylene) with a torch to change the molecular structure of the surface to accept painting or in this case dipping. There are a bunch of youtube videos showing how to paint HDPE kayaks, hard hats etc without the paint or coating coming off easily and most of them recommend the fire treatment. Thanks again!

Had no idea they still make this. Thought it was a gimmick from the 80’s. Remember Dad dipping pliers in that. Good memory. :)

My wife and I got some of the "Yeti" type cups and couldn't tell them apart. I used some blue tape and a spray form of this in different colors for each of us. They turned out really nice.

@grugnotice7746 Жыл бұрын

That is a fantastic product. Another great application for it is car painting. There are places that do this, and for much cheaper than a conventional paint job. It is a matte finish, but I think that is a good look. Also doesn't degrade like regular paint and it is cheap enough you can change the color as you like. When you want to change, just peel off the old stuff.

I find that Nail polish works surprisingly well to make tools pop out. Although i'm not sure if you should put it on the grip area, it might crack off.

Try to use as much of the dip as soon as possible. Once opened, it doesn’t have a very long shelf life; forms a skin an dries out in a few months.

When you dip the tool you want to attached to the side of a metal cabinet or another tool. Place a rare earth magnet on the tool then dip it. This way the powerful magnet is embedded under the plastidip.

I believe you can make your own dip by using silicone caulk (must be pure silicone, not acrylic or other) and mix in acetone... also, if you make it VERY "watery", it can also waterproof fabrics etc.... 😎👍☘🍺
