Jamison Report post Posted May 21, 2019 Hello! Does anyone have any advice in regards to working with anodized aluminum? It seems no matter how lightly I hold my pliers the coating on the rings chip and scratch easily. Thanks. . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittensoft_Chainmail Report post Posted May 21, 2019 You can find pliers with vinyl jaws, wrap tape around the jaws of the pliers you have, or dip them several times in Platicoat. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamison Report post Posted May 21, 2019 Thank you for the advice! I was actually thinking about wrapping them in tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittensoft_Chainmail Report post Posted May 22, 2019 The only problem with that, is that you will end up re-taping the jaws fairly regularly as the tape wears away with use. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamison Report post Posted May 29, 2019 Greetings! I tried applying black electrical tape around my pliers, which seemed to work for a few units, at which point it started to leave black sticky residue on my jumps rings, creating a whole new problem. What kind of tape do you use, and what kind/brand of Platicoat do you recommend? Also, where can I buy vinyl pliers; can't seem to find them anywhere! Thank you for your time. . .
