    What is the best way to deal with the Plasti-Dip wanting to adhere or not release a clean edge from the tape? Tape it out, do some heavy coats around the edge, pulling up the tape while wet then hit the field once the edge has dried or pulling tape at the very end?

    Well, tried the plast-dip and am pretty pleased for $15. We'll see how it holds up but I already love hove easy it is to touch up. Anyone have long term reports?

    My scoop is not yet on due to messing w/ LED options.
