simonhaydn Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Bought some Plasti Dip to do my centre console, but doing a quick test spray this morning it came out as below. I've never used the stuff before, but I imagine it being only 5 degrees outside didn't help. As soon as it was sprayed it started to form air bubbles and usually I keep the spray cans indoors, so they start at room temperature when spraying outdoors on a cold day. I tried it on a different piece of plastic, just in case it was some weird reaction, but got a similar result. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

matt1280 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Looks like trapped moisture probably down to the cold temprature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boynxdoor Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Not the best time of the Year to do it unless You a proper place... Indoor with room temperature that is ideal for painting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foogles Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Putting the cans into a bucket of boiling water for a few minutes before use is advised with Plastidip but I personally wouldn't do any spraying this time of year. I've put all of my painting plans on hold until after Easter at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev90 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 It does also look like you have sprayed it on quite thickly (not sure though), as said by others though, not the best time of year to be spraying, especially outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonhaydn Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Cheers, I'll save it for a warmer day or when a spare room becomes available. I did do a rather thick coat and a bit of Googling suggests it should be a very thin first layer. Thanks, Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely use very thin layers certainly for the first 2, they need to set to give the next coats more to grip onto, I made the same mistake when plastidipping parts on my car, oh and warm the cans up a bit before use, luckily I sprayed in summer so just left them on the grass to warm up a touch and shook really really well, make sure you shake them loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
