Plasti Dip on Amsteel

[benny a gregoire jr.]

Any experience putting plasti dip on amsteel. Looking to make my loops stiffer. Idea came from guys putting rubber tubbing on paracord. Only thing is you cant do that and make 2 locked brummel ends with amsteel. So i want to dip my locked brummel loops.

If it uses a solvent to keep the rubber in liquid form, I'd say its probably a bad idea. It may affect the integrity of the rope. Why do you want the loops to be stiffer?- what application is this?

Slide a hose inside the loop

or use a small flexible wire inside loop.

That, or you could probably wrap it with electrical tape. Plastidip will eventually come off, and it would be difficult to peel off and reapply on braided rope. Tape and tubing are easy to redo when they inevitably get ratty.
