Bouncy hopper? Whatcha think :D

[ScatterPlot]

I just took a trip to one of the tool stores near me, and I saw this great prododuct from the makers of Plasti-Dip. It's a spray on version! For those of you who don't know, this is stuff used to paint on electrical connections to insulate them, dip tool handles in to insulate and provide a grip, etc. Well, today I found a spray on kind! I bought some and I think I'm gonna paint my hopper with it. I'm not sure if it's legal but I think it is. LMK if it's otherwise. I tested it a minute ago on a piece of plastic I had and a brick. Every 30 mins I can add another coat. I'll post up pics when I can. Here's a link to some pics:

I've used plastidip before and while it is rubbery,it's not going to stop a break.It IS however going to add a ton of weight to your hopper.That and padded hoppers are typically considered illegal.

A spray-on coating wouldn't add that much weight. I was just thinking that it might help to stop one. Kinda like the Rico hoppers won't stop a break, they just might help prevent some of them from happening. About the legality thing, wouldn't hopper covers be considered illegal if they added some padding to it? I never thought they were bad. Correct me if I'm wrong, I've never really looked it up before.

I want a hopper made entirely out of plasti dip.

If you sprayed enuff to stop a break it would way a ton.Spry doesn't matter,you can spray the 'dip' stuff too,that plasti dip adds up fast.;)

And excessively padded covers are illegal,back in the day people would would put 2 on.One inside out first with the seams sticking out and then another over that,it would be like a tiny trampoline.

I wasn't arguing that the spray kind would weigh less, I was just saying that there would be less. I wasn't thinking about a super thick coating, just like 4 or 5 coats. It's pretty thin per coat, thinner than you would think. Plus it gives a really cool feel to whatever you spray it on :)

Yup,'cept it's actually rubber molded right into the hopper.Plasti-dip is a vinyl based product I think.

On top of that, I bet it'll work better than Plasti-dip too.

If not,that's the best I can do in under 3 mins.;)

Either way, whether the surface is rubber stuff or plasti-dip, it's not gonna stop a break.

[ScatterPlot]

No no no, you guys are all wrong. I wasn't expecting it to stop a break. I was meaning more of a chance of a bounce if it hits it right. Like soft masks; they don't completely stop breaks, they just "encourage" them. Also like padded clothing. Or, like said above, the Ricochet hoppers. Do they stop breaks completely? No! Do they help? Yes (debateably). That's what I'm saying rubber stuff might do. Discourage them. I'm not dumb enough to think that something is gonna STOP breaks all together. I was thinking, for 3 dollars, I could put a coating on the hopper. Man, I have a warp- I don't even need it! I was just sorta thinking.
