I was curious if anyone has used Plasti Dip for prop making?
I started experimenting with it recently.
A friend of mine uses it to coat the foam battle weapons he makes and sells for LARP (live action role play)
I bought a can (the kind you dip things into) of it at Home Depot to try it out. I also picked up a can of the Plasti Dip spray.
It seems to work rather well. I coated a piece of foam wire https://www.harrisseeds.com/storefront/s-274-plant-supports-ties.aspx
with it, and it gave it a nice rubber coating with a couple of dips. It seems to be a lot more durable than latex.
I'm also experimenting with the spray. I'm coating the socket joints on a skeleton I'm doing for P5.
I normally just paint the socket joints, but the paint tends to wear off in those areas when you move the arms and legs for posing purposes.
Here's a link to the website. Seems like a multitude of possibilities for this stuff.
