Metal hand tools are often coated in rubber to provide an easier grip and added comfort. Along with such tools, more and more people are coating things in rubber as part of home projects or even just to give auto accessories a unique look. Here is the best way to coat metal with Rubber Products in Seattle WA.
Out With The Old
If there is any old rubber product already coating the metal that is worn or otherwise undesirable, it must first be removed before adding new rubber. This can usually be done easily by cutting the rubber gently with a utility knife and peeling it away. If the rubber seems to be stuck on, then it can be scraped away very carefully so as not to harm the metal that lies beneath.
Scrub-A-Dub-Dub
If there is any rust present on the newly revealed metal, it can be scrubbed away with a steel wool pad or sandpaper. Specialty products also exist that can be purchased at hardware stores that can remove the rust by immersing the metal in it.
Clean And Dry
The nest step is to clean the metal with a simple solution of soap and water. This will remove any dirt or grime that may have accumulated on the metal. After the metal has been thoroughly cleaned, make sure to dry it completely so that rust does not reappear on it. An ordinary hand towel can get the job done.
No Double Dipping
Find a reputable supplier of liquid Rubber Products in Seattle WA. The metal can be dipped into this at whatever depth is needed to coat the metal sufficiently. The metal will need to hang a for a period of time so that it may dry. Wrap either steel wire or a heavy-duty string around it so that it may be hung with care. It should preferably be hung over newspaper or old towels to catch any dripping that may occur.
