Adding Grip to Slippery Tools
by Jon Henshaw
Most people have tools and utensils that can be slippery to hold under certain situations. If only those things had some sort of rubber coating to help keep your grip. I recently ran across an excellent howto that shows you how to add grip to just about anything using Plasti Dip.
You can buy Plasti Dip either as a spray for fabrics, or as a can for dipping tools and utensils into. To see how it’s done, visit MetkuMods website and read Super Grip with Plasti Dip.

If you’re just adding some rubber grip to metal tools (and looks aren’t that important), I’d suggest looking into self-fusing tape (aka rubber splicing tape). The stuff forms a bond when it comes in contact with itself, so there’s no adhesive involved, and it’s relatively non-toxic and gives you a nice rubbery surface to grip. It’s reasonably priced and can be found in most hardware stores.
I definitely recommend it! I’ve wrapped the handles of many garden tools with and have been quite pleased with the results.
