How to Plasti Dip & Reinforce Pick N' Pluck Case Foam

In this video I demonstrate and explain how to reinforce and strengthen your case foam--specifically pick N' pluck foam. It is notorious for its shorter life span and inability to stand up to repetitive wear and time. Thru this process, it could conceivably last a lifetime!

Bought that exact same Apache case yesterday, even the same color! I've started doing the cutting, have to pick up a can of PlastiDip today. Good video, answered some questions I had - thanks!

[@brettmorrical6978]

Thank you for this video. I'm getting ready to do this to my Apache case and this was helpful.

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

You bet! Just about to do another one myself.

[@Theoryintesting]

😅turned rated R when you shook that can!!😊 sorry I was surprised by the velocity at which you spontaneously started shaking the can😮 great idea!!

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

Hahaha I think I edited that part to 2x speed 🤣

@@EdgeStoneKnives like fast forwarding the love scenes when watching blue lagoon! My mom was like nope and she just made it look worse on the VCR lol

[@vindice5849]

I went with the 4800 and just did 3 coats, will probably do one or two more just to be safe

I've got the large HF Apache case that I intend to use as an EDC storage case. Your video should help out. Wish I had seen it before I did my Husky case. Thanks

[@stmarshall87]

How did this hold up after 2 years. Interesting to know if the glue held and how the plasti dip did?

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

Still holding up great! No issues at all.

[@juddr2001]

Great video! Thanks for showing this process.

[@DaveLikesKnives]

I tried to do this to my box and RUINED it. Coats were so heavy the foam actually shrunk a few inches all around. Good video, great info. Will definitely be more patient next time.

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

Bummer! Hope next time turns out better. Thanks for watching.

[@JohnSmith-dd1ew]

I did the same. Sucks.

[@notice_fpv]

Thanks for posting this. My logic was thicker coats will soak into the foam better, leading a more solidified end product. Seems I was wrong!

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

@rocketech lots of light coats is always the way to go with this stuff, even on say car parts or wheels

[@ianb8060]

Does the plasti dip start to rub off on the items when you start to remove them and put them back alot?

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

Not in my experience. Maybe if you're doing it every single day it would eventually start to a little.

[@jasonschnieders8506]

Great work there!!

[@peterlewis7172]

Nice work! How did you manage to get the curves with the pick n pluck?

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

Thanks! Cutting with a knife

[@katpar77]

Good info thanks!

[@CAKEY52010]

What is the benefit of doing this ?

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

It makes the foam infinitely more durable and resilient

[@chrislocke1042]

Could you do this first before you cut it? Does it smell after it dries?

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

I wouldn't do it before you cut or none of the inside areas will be sprayed. It does not smell once it dries and airs out.

[@chrislocke1042]

@@EdgeStoneKnives I see your point on spraying after thank you

[@OneWildTurkey]

Any reason you can't use regular latex paint with a small roller?

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

Never tried it

[@mayomode]

Hi. What about the smell of the paint when you close the case?

[@italianrelic]

Does it hold moisture

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

I've never tested that but I'd think the foam would be fairly water resistant now

[@MikeHammer1]

You will save a lot of the Plasti-Dip if you sprayed both parts stacked together instead of apart.

[@EdgeStoneKnives]

It would be too hard to get it down into the narrower cutout areas.

[@MikeHammer1]

@@EdgeStoneKnives Flip it over and spray from the opposite side once the first side dries.
