Plastic Coat Update (02)

Update on my use of the product Plastic Coat (dip can). Remember, prep work makes the product work as intended (also sand well)! Do not expect the coating to stay stuck over time to your material. I believe this aspect of the product is normal. So, if you use it, consider how you might accomodate for this affect.

Stay tuned...

you should dip the edges of your plates in the plastic dip,

The only problem with dipping the plate edges in plastic coat is the outcome. What I mean by this what happens with the coating when it drys. Plastic Coat has a tendency to shrink as it cures. As you can see in the video is will peel away from the plate edges a bit.

I don't think there is a way around this characteristic so dipping the edges may not work. I'll try and post an update. Thanks!

Agreed but the amount of inert chemicals being created and/or released into the solution I think would be marginal. But then again, it doesn't take much Hexavalent Chromate to perminantely damage the human body. Thanks, will note your observation.

a polypropeline layer might be better to stop eddy currents, because it is fairly inert in a Lye (caustic) solution.

Especially when you are using concentrated mixes, adding complex compounds into the solution through leaching from various plastics might be dangerous.
