PLASTI DIP® resists moisture, acids, abrasion, weathering, electrical shock, skidding/slipping, corrosion; coats and gives a comfortable, controlled, color coded grip to all types of tools; lawn and garden, mechanical, electrical, woodworking and masonry. PLASTI DIP® can also be applied to:
Wood: Seals and protects from weathering and prevents splinters.
Metal: Reduces vibration, deadens sound, prevents corrosion, insulates electrically and from extreme temperatures.
Glass: Shatterproofs glass objects (available in clear).
Rope/Fabrics: Weatherproofs, prevents rotting and fraying.
Plastics: Protects delicate surfaces from scratches.
Rubber: Weatherproofs, wear resistant.

Surface Preparations

N/A MIX WELL BEFORE USE.
All surfaces to be coated must be free of all oils, grease, dirt, wax and loose rust. A sandblasted or rough surface improves adhesion. Use PLASTI DIP® PRIMER F-716 or H.P. PRIMER F-938 on all metals for best results.

Spraying

N/A Pressure pot may be used (siphon cup not recommended). Dilute with recommended thinners up to 50% as needed. Gently mix before spraying. Apply wet overlapping coats, holding gun 6"-12" from surface, using a 4"-6" pattern. Allow 10-20 minutes dry time before applying additional coats to desired thickness.

Recommended Equipment and Settings

N/A Binks® model 2100 gun Nozzle: 63B
Needle: 663A
Material: 20-25psi
Atomization: 15-25psi
Dilution: as needed
Cap: 63PB (up to 50% dilution) or 66SD (up to 50% dilution) for heavier build up.
Clean up: See recommended thinners.

SPRAYING: Airless equipment may be used. Use as described above.
Tip size: 0.011 - 0.019
Pressure: As Needed
Dilution: Up to 50%

Dipping

N/A Dilute with recommended thinners up to 25% as needed. Gently mix before each use. Do not introduce air bubbles. Insert item 1" every 5 seconds. Remove at same rate. Allow 30-40 minutes (dry to the touch) dry time before applying additional coats to desired thickness.

Brushing

N/A Dilute with recommended thinners up to 25% as needed. Gently mix before each use. Apply wet overlapping coats using a soft natural bristle brush. Allow 10-20 minutes (dry to the touch) dry time before applying additional coats to desired thickness.

Hints

N/A Recommended thinners: Toluene or VM&P Naphtha. A dry film thickness of 12-15 mils is recommended for best results. Approximate dry mil thickness per coat, dipping 6-8 mils; brushing 4-5 mils; spraying 2-5 mils. Allow 4 hours dry time per coat before use. Allow overnight drying whenever possible. When using a dip tank, allow 6" minimum from fluid surface to tank top to avoid "skinning over". Avoid excessive air movement, heat or humidity. Always use proper ventilation and protection.
