Before...




After...




TIPS:
Before I applied, I tried on plastic bucket to see how this works. after drying, you can actually peel off when applied thick enough.

When removing the tape after drying the plastidip, be careful peeling off, and use rular or razor to press down the plasti dip that will be remain on the surfice.

I kinda messed up on the curved corner, but I don't care since I can just do it all over.

maybe this was a practice. Cheers~
