Plasti Dip Peeling Off
I have some 89 Janty armor I sprayed down with Plastidip just to give it a duller look. It's starting to peel in the shoulders and crotch region when it flexes. If I peel it all off, brush on some elmer's glue, and then plastidip on top of that, will it stick?

Re: EMERGENCY: Plastidip is peeling off, HELP!
I don't have any answers,but I'll bump it up for you.
Short of peeling it off and starting again,I really don't know.

Wipe it down with mineral spirits, then reapply the Plasti.
If you've used any kind of shining product since you've had it, Plasti-dip will not stick.
Wipe it down man. :up

Thanks for the advice Brin! I knew you'd chime in sooner or later.
Since the armor is urethane, I don't think Plastidip alone is going to stick very well. I'm considering spraying it with automotive bumper paint and then spraying Plastdip on top of that. Have you done anything like that before?

That's what I've heard and what Janty said but for some reason, I've had very good luck with it. It's just the areas that flex a lot that are peeling. I've worn the suit 3 times now and it started after the 3rd time. :raiseeybrow

Re: EMERGENCY: Plastidip is peeling off, HELP!
Plasti won't stick to urethane, and I haven't tried spraying Plasti over the bumper paint.
My question is:
If it's urethane, why is it peeling?
I thought all of Jants urethane pieces have intrinsic coloring, meaning that the color is IN the urethane, and should not peel.
I'm confused. :ohoh

It's not the armor itself that's peeling, it's the Plastdip I sprayed on top. The urethane armor underneath is fine.
I sprayed the armor with Plastdip because the cowl is latex and the color of the urethane would not match the cowl which had already been Plastidipped.

Then get those mineral spirits and completely wipe it off, or just sit and peel for a couple of hours.
The bumper spray should work once you get it all cleaned off.
