    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Great tip Kev. I highly recommend nalpak foam but it is pretty expensive, so this is a good alternative.

    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.
