Ok, so I needed to waterproof my mash tun lid, and I couldn't think of anything to coat it with other than a lot of layers of latex paint. That is until I saw this stuff.
Well, I started my project by duct taping the heat carved Styrofoam that I attached to my 3/4" particle board lid top.
Next, I placed a dam around the lid rim with duct tape and painted away with the Plasti-Dip. And now a word about painting Styrofoam!!!! Styrofoam will melt if painted with anything it doesn't like. I have no idea what else doesn't like Styrofoam, but I assure you that it and Plasti-Dip are never a good thing, lol. Be sure you seal your Styrofoam completely with the duct tape or you will have holes to re-tape and redo later at best. At worst you could have a completely deflated, but waterproof lid. That being said here is what this thick stuff looks like after painting it on. I would recommend the spray for anything you can't dip for future projects.
After the Plasti-Dip was tacky I removed the dam of tape from around the rim of the lid and let it dry completely. The next day, this is what it looked like (notice the holes).
