Not really lol, but....
rolmao! Yeah, as I read it over, it seemed to be a pile of gibberish. Ha!
Ah well, was worth a try anyway. They can't
all be winners can they.
You'll probably be happy with the tubing and it'll be less time consuming & finicky anyhow.
At this stage of the game I'm sure you'd rather be picking than working on your picks
But for future experiments - a couple other thoughts on the Plasti-Dip:
As Chris said, you can put any number of patterns, cuts, or materials into it for texture.
HERE I used a screen mesh to press in. Press too early and it won't hold the pattern.
You can see the back 2 picks are an example of too early. And obviously if you press
too late it won't accept the pattern. I finally zeroed in on the perfect dry/press time
with the pick in the foreground.
Personally, I like the metal handles. But I agree with you - they can get slippery at times.
Probably the
absolute quickest fix would be to rough it up with some heavy grit paper.
Top and bottom edges and diagonally on the sides. And it actually
looks kinda neat too.
