Harryn Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 what on earth would a cyclist do with this?Might have some promise as a permanent chamois cream.
Matt11 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Protect the bottom tube of your Carbon MTB frame??
Capcha Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 What should I spray myself with it so when I fall I bounce off the rocks? Can't make out why this would be on the hub???
MintSauce Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Actually, it's been available for years. You just needed to know where to look.
Bike Lore Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Jip. I used it once on batteries to make them waterproof. sorry but must say it was a complete disaster. I am sure it works gr8 on other materials but don't use it on poly ethylene or any low surface energy plastic materiel.
Big H* Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 This is good news. I have various older tool handles I want to coat. Those who do not understand how this worx........ do not worry, you do not need it.
CAAD4 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Spray it on your frame to protect it from chain slap. It's bound to look better than those k@k old tjoops...
Flowta Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Spray it on your frame to protect it from chain slap. It's bound to look better than those k@k old tjoops... good idea, does it come in green or clear? Though black would also work
Flowta Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 what on earth would a cyclist do with this? someone was looking for some the other day
Thug Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I actually started a topic on this way back in 2010 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/61859-plasti-dip/
Iwan Kemp Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I started asking around when I saw this color scheme on a Mojo HD and learned that the guys did it himself using PlastiDip. Everything in white on the frame was done using ithttp://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab264/nixgame/Ibis%20Mojo%20HD%202012/DSC_0101.jpghttp://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab264/nixgame/Ibis%20Mojo%20HD%202012/DSC_0105.jpghttp://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab264/nixgame/Ibis%20Mojo%20HD%202012/DSC_0103.jpg
Iwan Kemp Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Had this to say: "Thanks, I did it myself. It was pretty easy, and 100% reversible. I used a product called Plasti Dip, available at Home Depot, Lowe's...etc. It comes in a spray can, and it just peels off if you don't like it or you mess up. It has a rubbery texture that's somewhat similar to the black HD. After a few rides, it's held up really well. I used automotive pinstripe to tape off the white part, mainly because you can curve it without it kinking. After spraying, I would recommend using a hair dryer, and point it right at the pin stripe while slowly peeling it off. This will soften the pin strip adhesive, and help separate it from the plasti-dip without messing up the line.Hope that helps, if you have any other questions please let me know. I'm sure I'll get bored with this setup and go for something different in a few weeks"
Flowta Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Bought a can of clear, going to spray myself a "slap sock" on my chainstay
