From what I understand with plastidip, you tape off your grip layout then spray or whatever then when its still tacky take the tape off. should keep it from messing up.

I sprayed onto a PVC pipe after scuffing it up and whatnot, and it was just after lots of handling that it started to peel. It wasn't directly on the sinktube.

I had the same problem with a PVC overlay I did for my hardware EL saber years ago. I used a different product, but still the same kind of thing at the Plastidip.

After redoing it twice, I gave up and just painted the grips with some black Krylon Fusion Paint and was done with it.

I scuffed the pvc with 320 grit (I think thats what I used) sand paper, washed it and used a de-greaser. It still peeled off. So I tried painting it flat black and then spraying the Plasti-Dip over that, still didn't work. So I went the spray on truck bedliner route. That stuff FLAT ROCKS as a grip!!

I'll have to try some of that sometime. It should be pretty tough if it's made for bedlining.

I would welcome your comments on these two new lightsabers. They were comissioned for my Sister-in-law's boyfriend as a present for his birthday. Both are Maglite hilts with Hasbro Anakin colour change sound boards and 3W luxeons.

Clickable links.

The first is based on a BYB design and is Cyan. The Green hilt LED is flashing.











This is fairly obviously a Vader inspired saber with the Red hilt LED flashing. 3W Red.













This last pic is the presentation box I made which gave the present a nice touch (I thought).

very cool.

those are a couple of the greatest maglight sabers that I have seen in a while. I would spend big money on them if I had any moneys...

[mikeclem]

Thanks - those are kind words. They did take quite a while to put together but because they were a present I wanted to do them right. I'm very happy with how they turned out.
