Wotcha, I have a need to cover thread on parts of a M10 mild steel threaded rod so the thread does not rub what its strapped to and to prevent corrosion. Found something called Plasti Dip which looks ideal. I like the idea of using the dip cans, not the spray cans. I note they recommend use of primer first.

Anyone used this or similar for such an application. Any advice?

Re: Plasti Dip?
This stuff is great. It can be easily peeled off whenever you wasnt but is really durable. be great to paint a van with if you like a matt finish.

Re: Plasti Dip?
Why not use stainless rod to start with? Then bind the contacting section.

Re: Plasti Dip?
The rod is getting some small radius 90degree bends. I thought mild steel would be easier to bend than stainless. The dip should give a nicer finish than binding.

Re: Plasti Dip?
I have never applied it but have seen it and looks great. Have a look on you tube and there are loads of vids about it.
