Hi everyone, just wanted to see if anyone has found an effective way to Plasti dip the outside of their throws? I was thinking about this awhile back and wished my metal 3a throws had a coating on them to prevent the smoke and noise and thought this might work. ---

Give it a shot, I suspect it may add more than a little vibe but … plasti-dip is probably also removable with the right chemicals as well? So you could take it off later. ---
