Hi folks, I work at a museum and we are recently making an effort to get all the hardware in our displays the same color. We bought some of these U-hooks to keep on hand and I'm using Camo-colored plastidip so that they match the backgrounds in the displays.
Long story short I thought thin layers would get the plastidip to stick to this vinyl... it does not. Attempted to sand the sticky surface of the vinyl in case that would help and it IS better, but ultimately peels off.
I'd like to buy a primer if anyone knows of one that will help the plastidip stick. Unfortunately I don't have much info about the vinyl besides the fact that it is the textured, rubberized version--no idea about the actual type of vinyl it is and what polymers it contains. Automotive primer? Other options? Perhaps there's a sealant I should also invest in to get a sturdy finish?
These are obviously gonna get bumped a scraped a little bit while we swap them out and hang our items on them, but wear and tear will be minimal after that point so honestly I just gotta get the plastidip ON there and we're good to go. TIA!!
