Made a world of difference for mine. I've had to recoat it once after about 6 months. But a small price to pay, and a great budget alternative to buying a new foam insert.
yea and you get high, win win
Hey Kev, I want to say that when I cut you down I'm only joking for the guys in the comments and I hope you don't take it personally I support your channel and I really appreciate you for everything you do you are a great guy from what I know about you and I thank you for being a good sport. Your the best Kev!
Thanks man!
A few people I know bought the Apache cases and bought the Pelican foam inserts. Pelican sells the foam inserts separately and they are much, much better than the inserts that come with the Apache.
Great stuff. I got a new case for Father's Day and I already have one. I'm going to try to do this to both of them. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful
Good job Kevin. I think you put the plasti dip on to thick that’s why it is splotchy. I did mine with thin layers and it came out really nice. Definitely recommend. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Is it going to harm the finish on the scales or harm the scales itself?
No
Plastidip is really just like rubberized paint. And it doesnt really become very sturdy or last very well on anything. They make these apache boxes that are specific for knives and have way better foam inserts. You might look into one of those.
Nice video. I Messed up insert on my Husky case by putting coats on too thick.
Great tip Kev. I highly recommend nalpak foam but it is pretty expensive, so this is a good alternative.
yea almost bought a nalpak insert yesterday. $85, OK not bad. $30 for shipping? Eff off. haha
@@LeftyEDC how do they plan on delivering it, golden chariots?!?!
@@IAN_G_EDC exactly. Its foam. Probably weighs less than a pound or two.
I just got a apache 4800 case for knives just curious if the case is good for my knives and would they rust in the case and if so how do I prevent my knives from rusting
Right on Lefty. Always coming through with great content.
Cool idea Kev. I think if you did it like spray paint, in several thin coats it would come out more uniform. You may avoid the soaking in as much that way. Of coarse I’m assuming since I’ve never done it.
That would take forever and it was 100 Degrees haha. I think I need better foam
Sick little DIY!
I did this for 3 cases. I found many light coats were better than fewer heavy coats.
Awesome video I was thinking about getting a couple of cases for my collection if I do ill definitely spray them
Worth it?
Nah. Just buy an insert for it
@@LeftyEDC why
@@appleztooranges easier, looks way better
Fun DIY vid. 👍
Hey I’m gonna do this how many cans do you think I need for a Apache 4800 foam case I plan on buying exspensive knives in the future
I would buy an insert. I did a video on that as well. Easier and just better.
@@LeftyEDCAre you ever thinking about selling a couple of knives in the future
@@AubieClay i sell knives constantly
@@LeftyEDC How would I get in touch with you on buying one or two from you
@@AubieClay what are u looking for? Im not selling any knives right now. Except a left handed Kansept pelican. My email is leftyedc88@gmail.com
Is that the 3800 size? I’ve been thinking about picking one up just not sure which one to get.
I believe so yea. Holds like 60 if you cut it like i did. But i would make one more larger knife row and probably get 48 slots
@@LeftyEDC that should work. I’m trying to down size from around 200.
Very cool tip. Many thin coats always works better with spray paint I assume this would be no different. By the way sexy legs buddy 😘
Mine turned out like shit lol. I used red and had to go super heavy so there wasn’t any black showing. It ended up shrinking and it doesn’t fit right, but it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry to hear that.
carefull not to inhale that crap good thing you dont have to go to school anymore lol
Should have put on a mask everyone has those around these days
I did for part of it
Wow I am first! 😂
