Tools, Sharpening and Power Machinery - Liquid Latex?

Didn't know where to post this, so...

Has anyone ever heard of a liquid latex/rubber/vinyl material that you can use to give a surface a non-slip covering, like a tool handle or utensil? I need it to re-cover the rusting tips of a dishwasher rack, but I can't seem to find it at the local home center. Thanks. David

I have seen it on t v and later found it at my very large Ace Hardware store, it was in the electrical department, by the wire coverings like the heat shrink sleaves. MIGHT TRY THIS POST UNDER small appliances.

I believe either Harbor Freight or Northern Equipment have "Dip it" plastic tool handle coating...

I believe the product that you are looking for is called Plastisol. I worked with this stuff in the Navy. There were two types are availiable. One was heat cured the other was air cured. I have only used the heat cured type.

The secret to a successful dip is surface prep. The shop that I was in would sandblast and prime all surfaces where we wanted the plastisol to stick. After curing and cooling we trimmed the excess away with xacto knives.

If you use the heat cured type, do not cure it in the same oven that you cook food in. The heated plastisol can emit toxic fumes.

Good stuff. Very durable but can be painful to work with.
