Hello Keith,
Plasti Dip regular should work fine on natural porous wood, providing it has not been treated in anyway or had chemicals, wax, cleaners, varnish, etc on it.  The best thing to do is sand and apply Plasti Dip Primer first before  coating with Plasti Dip.  For a non-slip finish you may also wish to add Skid Tex.  Please see our General Preparation Guide below:-

The essential criteria is to ensure the surface is squeaky clean, grease, dirt, debris and contaminant free and thoroughly dry before coating.
  
On vehicles or irregular shaped items, particular attention should be paid to the sills, trim, gutters, grills, any tight or hard to get to corners and gullies that you would not normally concentrate on.

•	Wash only with hot water as some soap detergents contain residues that Plasti Dip may not adhere to.
•	Never use any petroleum, citric, alcohol or solvent based cleaning/care products with Plasti Dip.
•	Do not use car care cleaning products such as wheel shines, paint wipes etc, as these often leave trace residues which could cause adhesion problems.  
•	Remove all traces of previous wax or silicone residue from cleaning products using the correct de-greaser, particularly for metal and plastic surfaces.
•	Clean large areas with Plasti Dip Panel Wipe degreaser.
•	Small areas can be cleaned with Plasti Dip “Dip Care Prep Degreaser”.
•	Ensure all water is removed and the area thoroughly dry before coating.
AEROSOLS – Refer to aerosol for instructions.  Shake well before and during use.  Test spray pattern on sample piece prior to application.  In cold conditions, place aerosol in warm water (approximately 21°c) for 10-15 minutes before use.

BLAZE COLOURS – Best applied over white Plasti Dip base coat.

In common with all manufacturer’s advice, we recommend testing on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure suitability.  Base colours can alter the final shade.

If spraying, for a professional fine finish, Plasti Dip liquid should be filtered first.  For best results, temperature of the spraying area should be between 10°c and a maximum of 27°c.  Liquid Plasti Dip should be thinned 50/50 by weight.  Apply the first coat as a mist coat and gradually build up the layers.  The thicker the final coating, the easier it is to remove in the future should you wish.  For vehicles, we suggest a minimum of 6-7 coats.  For other projects a minimum of 2-4 coats is recommended depending on application method and coverage requirement.

Layers are touch dry and re-coatable in 30-45 minutes at 16-22°c and totally cured/dry 24-48 hours depending on temperature.  Increase drying times in colder conditions.

Plasti Dip Primer is an adhesion promoter.  Only use a primer to increase adhesion if you require a permanent coating.  For permanent application, keying the surface with fine grit paper will improve adhesion if required.

For extra protection of your investment and ease of cleaning, we recommend using Dip Care Sealant over the final coating.

Please see our booklet supplied with your order for other handy tips and product information, including spray gun settings.

Question 2

Is this ready to spray or qill thinner be needed, if ao which thinner is recommended and what ratio? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hello Wayne,
Thank you for your enquiry.  Plasti Dip regular in pure format is thick like syrup and for spraying purposes will need thinning 50/50 ratio using Plasti Dip thinners.
We do offer Plasti Dip Sprayable, which is pre-thinned - this is available in 1 US gallon (3.78 litre) cans only.
I hope this is of help.
Kind regards,
Alison

Question 3

Would this work on a wooden shed that is weathered and letting in a little water?
Regards

Accepted Answer

Hi,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Plasti Dip is suitable for most woods and will provide a highly effective weather resistant coating which unlike most paints will flex with the wood to avoid cracking and peeling.

You can apply neat or for an easier flow thin with Plasti Dip thinners up to 20%.

Plasti Dip has a rubberised tactile feel to the finish and I would recommended at least two coats minimum.

An alternative product is our flexible hard coat.
This is easier to apply and dries to a satin acrylic finish.
HCF being water based needs to be applied in dry low humidity conditions.
Depending on the colour change you may need at least 3 coats of HCF.

The wood needs to be clean free from loose material and DRY before application for both finishes.

Regards,
Plasti Dip Team

Question 4

Hi , can I use this to waterproof a plywood canoe ?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Thank you for your enquiry.
Plasti dip is a waterproof weather resistant coating that demonstrates high flexibility so correctly applied it will not crack or peel in use and should last for several years.
It should be fine on Plywood , providing that it is clean with all traces of contaminants removed such as Wax, Silicone etc. As per normal advise, please check for suitability on small area first particularly if you are applying over an existing coating.
Regards,
Peter
