Flexible Coating Needed
Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:52 pm
I'm sure you have all sorts of adhesives and coatings. I'm afraid to think about
how much of this stuff I've junked over the years!
One of my fingers is injured. The only serious accident in a lifetime of working
with tools and doing all sorts of potentially dangerous activities. Ironically,
the injury occurred trying to pull a friend out from under a huge pile of building
materials. His house was being renovated.
In another lifetime, I was a scuba diving instructor. When this finger injury
happened about five years ago, I immediately purchased several pairs of
scuba gloves. I cutoff the finger on each glove as a protector for my injured
finger. It works fine, but I've always wanted to add a flexible coating to the
neoprene so it would be closer to the color of human skin.
A tough, synthetic fabric is bonded to most neoprene scuba products. Without
this fabric, the neoprene wouldn't last very long. I need a light tan or almond
colored flexible coating that will bond easily and stay flexible. Auto stores have
a spray-on product that's suppose to restore the color to vinyl seats, dashboards,
etc. The solvent in this stuff is very strong. I would never use it in the passenger
cabin. In any case, it doesn't stay flexible on a neoprene glove.
I could search the web for months, and not find the right product. Any help would
be appreciated.
