Great job @toesidebob   Show us a photo of the edge when you pull off the tape please.  Wondering if the tape should have come off while the plastic was still wet?

There's still one more kit available in the store.  We're not going to restock this item, it's low margin and we can't compete with Amazon.  But I highly recommend this product, buy it from Amazon and make your favourite mitts last way longer!

I wanted to buy a few cases of mittens from China, coat them at home and sell them in the store.  Might still do that next season but we're focused on the risers, boot stiffeners and straps for this winter.  And outerwear from Skyline coming soon...

Imao let the rubber dry first, you can get a clean line with a razor. Just pull till you see the tape edge then gently cut.

I finally coated my mittens, jacket, and pants with PMC 746—gotta say, I’m stoked with the results and can’t wait to test it out next week!

After seeing what happened to you, @toesidebob, I decided to play it safe. I started with a layer of painter’s tape for easy removal and added a layer of duct tape on top to prevent leakage through the painter’s tape.

The application process was super easy, and removing the tape was hassle-free. While the results aren’t perfect, I’m confident they’ll be really functional.

Cheers!

Looking good @carverarcalis!  I would like to be dipping cases of mittens into vats of this stuff before next season.  We'll see.  

How did you apply it?  Paint brush?  One coat only?  And did the two layers of tape work well?  Why not just one layer of the duct tape?

@wild-cherry I think PMC 746 is the best product ever! I’ve been testing it on the snow for the past two days, and it works wonders! My pants are a little stiff now, but totally worth it. 😆

I applied it by pouring some directly into the jacket and pants, then spreading it with a paintbrush. For the mittens, I used the paintbrush directly since I only needed to apply it to certain spots.

The double layer of tape worked perfectly—nothing leaked through, and it was super easy to remove without ripping any of the PMC. I used painter’s tape as the base layer because I’ve dealt with duct tape on pants before, and it’s a nightmare to remove if it’s left on too long. Using duct tape just to insulate the painter’s tape seemed like a better approach.

I’m sure there are better ways to do it, but this worked well for me!

Cheers!
