Are there any alternative products to DIP (TmReg) that
are, perhaps, more durable?

Or maybe

Please advise.

Three layers of heat shrink? Friction tape? Or (gasp) how about the
original steel handles? Steel is relatively durable stuff, or so I hear.

Steel is hard and a pretty good conductor!
There\'s a product that is used in the tool&die business to protect
finely machined surfaces against damage as the products are shipped.
It is dispensed in a heated pot (\"DIP\" is used cold).
But, it is intended to be temporary -- you WANT to remove it in order
to \"expose\" the real product.
I don\'t know if there are similar \"heated\" products that are more permanent.
(There\'s a DIP competitor called GRIP -- original name, eh? -- but I\'ve no
first-hand experience with it)

Many tools are made as crude castings (machined in a followup step) so the
handles are *intended* to be coated, prior to sale. Unfortunately, those
coatings deteriorate with age.
[\"DIP\" is a great solution -- but, is considerably less durable than
the original coating! And, it doesn\'t store well. So, you need to have
several tools needing treatment to make the most of each can]

There\'s better tapes for this; fusion tape (rubbery self-adhering) makes a good grip,
but attracts dirt. Gaffer tape (good grip, self-sticking) is nearly ideal, as are the
handlebar wrap items at a bicycle shop. I\'ve even seen fiberglass tape with
(polyester?) resin applied; permanent, and insulating, but ugly.

given that the truck bed usually is NOT inherently textured,

I\'ll order a little of each option (DIP, GRIP, bedliner, etc.)
and see how they each fare. DIP/GRIP seem to target \"dip\"
applications whereas the others may be less viscous, given
how they are intended to be applied.

I will have to research this more carefully. In the short term,
I\'ve got another 150 dozen cookies to bake, this week (cheesecakes
NEXT week), so not really well focused...

These will be 2-part, so not as convenient, but much more durable.
