I didn't know about it until you told me, probably going on my bucket list now! ;)

Is this plastic dip something you can do at home?
exvalvesetdabbler:
Something like plastidip, comes in a tin, just dip the thing in, allow the excess to drip off and wait for it to cure.
Difficult to justify a tin full of the stuff unless you have enough things to do, eg. Tool handles.

When I’ve done my rebuilds, to make the bendable metal OEM cable ties look as new again, I have them re-zinced at my local platers when he’s doing all the bolts etc (£50 a dip no matter how many / large the parts are).
I then use the heat shrink cable sheathing of an appropriate size to make them look nice. It just shrinks down, almost looks OEM and the surface is quite grippy.

I've used Shrink Wrap in the past, I dont have enough bits left to jusify a tin of Platidip.
Good to know for possible future use.
