Great Video! I have been using Pelican cases for years now and I have had the same issue with the pick and pluck foam and now that I have seen your video I will be able to setup both of my 1750 and 1720 cases up right. I have also been looking for a case where I could put a AR pistol or quick reaction setup and seeing what you did has given me a lot of ideas and turned toward the 1600 instead of the 1700 series case. I want a case that I can take with me on a plane and allow me to have a sidearm with me when I travel in states that honor my CWP. Bravo ZULU on your Case and Video!

@shadow6996 4 года назад

Awesome how-to video, I like especially that you explain to adhere the two pieces together after plucking them both. Thanks Much!

@disabledvet420 7 лет назад

i use plasti dip for all my foam. works great... also if you use spray adhesive, there can be some spots where it is still tacky, go over with plati dip and bam, fixed.

@volkswatson 7 лет назад

I tried this on a similar case from Amazon. It didn't work with one can. After spraying it all down good, it was better, but still began to fall apart. I tried it again, this time brushing on flex seal, and it's holding better. But really it could use a little more. Honestly, you'll need several cans of plastidip to get a firm hold (or several coats with a brush). This stuff is a basically a big sponge, made to soak up liquid, so that's exactly what it does.

@jonnymo4728 4 года назад

Watch this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-syJPPKsRWnc.html More coats. Less density per coat. Be patient.

@RealToolReviews 6 лет назад

This is the best Plastidip foam vid I’ve seen. Nice job 👍

@alandnegrin3770 6 лет назад

If you want better results try the flex seal. I started with regular foam from Joe Ann's and got it to be nice and hard plus it makes the foam water resistant. Works great.

@johngeorgopoulos2568 3 года назад

Old video but STILL very relevant. Thank you!

@rockhopper01 7 лет назад

I was inspired by your vids to finish my Pelican 1600 go box. The plasti-dip tip worked perfectly. My AR pistol is nearly identical to yours. Went with my Sig M11A1 for the handgun. I added a spot for a Howard Leight Impact Sport hearing pro. I also cut a small section in the second layer of foam for a desiccant pack. Thanks for the vid and the ideas!

@goaztecs7549 5 лет назад

This tip worked beautifully. Thanks so much! You just saved me a nice chunk of change going with another foam manufacturer.

@fiercejackal42 3 года назад

Love plastidip! Used it for years on my car, blacking out the silver/grey highlights on the grille and bumpers and gave all the chrome trim a nice black matte finish. Been 4 years and still holding like new. Also rebuilt and refinished a hon lateral cabinet using dip on the handles for grip and coat the sharp edges. First coat is supposed to be a half spray dusting to give the following coats something extra to adhere to then lay it thick with wet sprays after that. Gonna go the extra mile by grinding & sanding with my Dremel for better shapes and cleaner edges after I pluck the cubes before dipping. Making a QuickDraw case for 4 pistols .

@ApplianceCubedSolutions 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for posting this video! I have used Pelican, and knockoff cases for 25 years to house electronics and computer peripherals. Love the pick and pluck concept, vs cutting foam w/ a hot knife, but the fact that the cubes can inadvertently tear off, is frustrating. So, finally have a solution!

Emphasis on "Well ventilated area". sprayed outside, but since it was only like 48-54 degrees out with a breeze, I brought it inside to dry in the basement and my entire house smelled like the spray even 3 days later.. very strong stuff.

@richardaddison3923 7 лет назад

Get a pc of 2"x 24"x48" kaizen foam $29. Shipped.it is closed cell foam.bonded 1/8" layers.hard to seperate layers but possible.but definitly the best bang for your buck.for a high end gun case.

@bullrog21zombie 7 лет назад

Thank you for this video! I have a Pelican 1400 case for m,y DJI Mavic Pro. I fly my drone alot and after the first few weeks I noticed the Pick N Pluck foam as started to show some wear and tear. I would love to get a foam cut-out specific for my Mavic however its more than half the price of the case just for a foam replacement. I'll spend $6 or so on a can of plasti-dip. Awesome video!

@XxProGamersxX100 2 года назад

@mixflip 6 лет назад

Great idea.

@Tiebox 3 месяца назад

I would spray first and then cut, not cut than spray. There are a multitude of different sprays / coatings you can use. 3-4 coats of flex seal works out really nicely.

@stanleywrubel8920 3 года назад

I used about 4 1/2 cans but, the more coats the better for a good result . I let it sit for a couple days as well. Came out great

@daveth121864 4 года назад

Great tip, Kotaboy. I just started picking & plucking my brand new Pelican 1510 and already the pieces are coming apart. I’m going to get some Plasti-Dip. It might take a little practice. But a whole new set of P&P is only about $40, so if I screw it up, it’s not like I wrecked a $180 case. Also, you are clearly no fan of the factory P&P, so I give you extra points for not using a word that rhymes with “pluck” every time you call it by name! :D

@peternicholls6532 3 года назад

Bought some of this Plasti Dip to cover an Artemis P15 wooden stock... it's best to sit the can in warm water 5 minutes then a good shake before spraying as it comes out in a nice uniform fine spray :) ps nice idea on the foam I'll certainly be using this stuff on my gun case foam

@bacawaka2813 6 лет назад

That is amazing! I will try this when I buy new foam for my cast. Also, if you have a access to a laser cutter, you can cut out that same pattern into a thin piece of acrylic with color of your choice (preferably opaque) and glue it on top of the foam. It will make the case look uber professional. I got the idea from Tested.

@omicrondec 6 лет назад

Bacawaka acrylic defeats the shock absorption of foam. If I'm protecting anything with foam padding, I don't want to add a sweet looking but hard piece of acrylic for my gear to potentially bang against.

kotaboy32 Firearms Review Ah! OK. Noted. Thank you.

@AdamosDad 8 лет назад

@HewesNews 10 месяцев назад

Learning this the hard way: this is best done right away, when the foam is new and the blocks are together. I did the Plastidip spray a couple years in, when some of the blocks were very loose or missing. Do this the right away after you decide on your configuration. 2023 cost at Home Depot is about $10 per can.

@redryder3550 7 лет назад

this works great. nice job on the case. although the area you have blank seems a waster of the space. perhaps you might have been best served with a smaller case. for everyone bemoaning chemicals and moisture...you don't store long term in this situation. if you do, just throw a couple of silica gel pack in the case. also, you should check your guns every couple of weeks based on the humidity in your area. leaving this in the Florida area for months will be your own fault when it looks like a rusty anchor.

@marky5071 4 года назад

Is just using kaizen foam better? I’m aiming for tool organization. Either way good information and thanks for the video

@piousgrim7629 6 лет назад

Would the plastic dip sprayed in the slots scratch the coating of your items?

@sinocaig 4 года назад

Added tip for use with Plasti Dip - after shaking very well keep the can in hot water....the hot water allows the rubber particles inside to be VERY FINE. this will aid in a much smoother application and look.

@YknotLearnall 7 лет назад

Can you do an update on how this mod held up over the past year? A question, Is it soft and if so,, does remain soft? I don't want it scratching my gear. In my case, camera lenses and bodies. Or gassing off, which will fog/coat the lenses. TIA

Does the foam still have give to it? I don’t have a foam cutter so I just use the squares and it doesn’t fit exactly but I’m worried the plasti dip would make it too solid.

@TheSlowredchemical 7 лет назад

Would you recommend coating the foam with the Plasti-Dip before or after cutting it? I was thinking maybe I should coat it first as I feel that could make it easier to cut, but what do you think?

@wayneceallaigh8027 4 года назад

use some warm water in a bowl to warm up your plastidip bottle. Not boiling! Just hot tap. Then shake it well, it will loosen it up for a better spray. around 20cm (7.5 to 8 inches) is the best distance to spray from. About three coats. Let each coat dry.
