GG Self Destructed

[scyllabub]

Why not some of the plastic/rubber 'tool dip' stuff? You dip a tool handle in it, let dry, it's now got a plastic/rubbery coating on it once dried?

I never even heard of that, Weg It would have to be a very thick coating and acid-proof, wouldn't it, so it wouldn't wear thru? My sweaty finger (or thumb, sometimes) is on the button most of the day 8-o

If batteries were mine and not from a chinese factory it would be Kit.

But I will make it stronger to hold explosions from now on

 

[imeothanasis]

Weg, very nice idea, I havent seen this stuff before. I think its the solution to what we talk about. We can do it to the button or to the case or both

They also sell it at lowes in the paint section

And we can paint the GG in what colour we want? perfect

 

[rejoice]

Golden color is very pretty!

 

[imeothanasis]

Golden color is very pretty!

I am already looking for gold but if I found silver its ok too. I have found red and black already

 

[rejoice]

Oh no,Amazon does not have gold. Only Red,Blue or black.

 

[wegster]

It's not a paint, it's like the stuff on tool handles, kinda plastic rubbery. I've seen it in most commonly red or black, not sure on others, but wouldn't expect it to have 100+ colors, maybe half a dozen ?

It should wear well enough, as long as like paint, the surface prep is decent - (alcohol, degreaser, no oils on surface to be coated).

Abrasion will of course, wear through nearly anything over time, but really, pull the button, remove the old, dip the outside of button again, let dry, and I'd wager you're good for another 'long while' again.

Anodizing is very likely more durable, but not so easy to redo yourself, and I'm unsure if it's even easily possible to anodize 'just the outside' of a button, etc.

I meant to anodise the GG

 

[imeothanasis]

I found a clear one. That means transparent? Please help my English

[wegster]

Yes, clear is transparent.

 

[rejoice]

Than clear is the color. For black,blue or red too me is not good.

 

[imeothanasis]

Yes, clear is transparent.

xa xa thats our material, dont you think Weg? Thanks for the info you are very handsome man!!!

 

[wegster]

Lol, I'd be fine with clear, red, black, blue or none, then I'd just dip it in whaever I felt like, or not at all. But, I certainly think it's worth trying - I've used some on tool handles that's held up well, and I'm sure if you are dipping them, the surface prep will be done properly.

Glad to help, or at least offer a suggestion.

We agree rejoice!
