Great Video! I have been using Pelican cases for years now and I have had the same issue with the pick and pluck foam and now that I have seen your video I will be able to setup both of my 1750 and 1720 cases up right. I have also been looking for a case where I could put a AR pistol or quick reaction setup and seeing what you did has given me a lot of ideas and turned toward the 1600 instead of the 1700 series case. I want a case that I can take with me on a plane and allow me to have a sidearm with me when I travel in states that honor my CWP.
Bravo ZULU on your Case and Video!
Awesome how-to video, I like especially that you explain to adhere the two pieces together after plucking them both. Thanks Much!
That is a nice way to strengthen the foam as good job as I also like the way it looks with the black color....
If you want better results try the flex seal. I started with regular foam from Joe Ann's and got it to be nice and hard plus it makes the foam water resistant. Works great.
I hate that "pick-'n-pluck". Wish they'd give you an option...Thanx for providing an alternative. Also, great idea with breaking down the upper from the lower - will have to try that.
i use plasti dip for all my foam. works great... also if you use spray adhesive, there can be some spots where it is still tacky, go over with plati dip and bam, fixed.
If only it were still $5.99 a can. lol
Get a pc of 2"x 24"x48" kaizen foam $29. Shipped.it is closed cell foam.bonded 1/8" layers.hard to seperate layers but possible.but definitly the best bang for your buck.for a high end gun case.
This is the best Plastidip foam vid I’ve seen. Nice job 👍
I know this video is from 2016. I noticed in the video you said the Plasti Dip spray was $.5.99. Today in 2024 it's almost 4 times that amount of money. priced at $21.99. Holy crap inflations sucks.
Walmart was 7.41 the past week
Stay on point guy plz. The weather, the 80 lb constipated barking dog commentary we don’t need thx.
I tried this on a similar case from Amazon. It didn't work with one can. After spraying it all down good, it was better, but still began to fall apart. I tried it again, this time brushing on flex seal, and it's holding better. But really it could use a little more. Honestly, you'll need several cans of plastidip to get a firm hold (or several coats with a brush). This stuff is a basically a big sponge, made to soak up liquid, so that's exactly what it does.
Watch this. ruclips.net/video/syJPPKsRWnc/видео.html
More coats. Less density per coat. Be patient.
I’m hoping this turns out! I bought new foam for my small pelican style case and have bought a can of grey . 🤞🏻
Great video, going to cut my foam and give plastic dip a try....thanks.
Does it scratch up the firearms?
No
@5:47 “It doesnt peel away.”
3 seconds later…peels a chunk out lol
Kaizan Foam works great!
Which case is this and what size barrel is that on your ar? Really like the setup, needing one to fit my 16" with an a2.
Would you recommend coating the foam with the Plasti-Dip before or after cutting it? I was thinking maybe I should coat it first as I feel that could make it easier to cut, but what do you think?
TheSlowredchemical wondering the same thing
TheSlowredchemical you don't cut it you pluck bits out
Emphasis on "Well ventilated area".
sprayed outside, but since it was only like 48-54 degrees out with a breeze, I brought it inside to dry in the basement and my entire house smelled like the spray even 3 days later..
very strong stuff.
Is the plasti-dip rough on the firearm? If it is drying hard, wouldn't it scuff the firearm as it is being removed and reinserted? Just curious as I just got a case and this looks like a great idea as I was thinking of putting the pick n pluck on bottom and carving on the solid pice. Thanks, and great video.
I'm wondering the same thing
I would spray first and then cut, not cut than spray.
There are a multitude of different sprays / coatings you can use.
3-4 coats of flex seal works out really nicely.
this works great. nice job on the case. although the area you have blank seems a waster of the space. perhaps you might have been best served with a smaller case. for everyone bemoaning chemicals and moisture...you don't store long term in this situation. if you do, just throw a couple of silica gel pack in the case. also, you should check your guns every couple of weeks based on the humidity in your area. leaving this in the Florida area for months will be your own fault when it looks like a rusty anchor.
Added tip for use with Plasti Dip - after shaking very well keep the can in hot water....the hot water allows the rubber particles inside to be VERY FINE. this will aid in a much smoother application and look.
use some warm water in a bowl to warm up your plastidip bottle. Not boiling! Just hot tap. Then shake it well, it will loosen it up for a better spray. around 20cm (7.5 to 8 inches) is the best distance to spray from. About three coats. Let each coat dry.
Use the correct foam cutter and DO NOT fucking plasti dip the shock isolating foam in your protective case! LMFAO. You will reduce the shock value of your case if you use this method. Also think about the lay out, his optic is upright and probably the only part in the box that actually needs the shock protection. It is up against the egg crate top piece instead of insulated inside the segmented foam. SMH.
Why is there music playing between the birds and the music we are fighting to hear you. A how to video shouldn't have music the same value as you. Or leave it out.
Pick & Pluck Pelican?... I misunderstood >_>
The REAL chicken of the sea.
nice video. you should invest in a lav mic though. doesn't have to be anything fancy, just run a line to your camera's input. can barely hear you esp outside
No huffing the plastidip! Lol! That’s a nice setup you have there. Hadn’t thought of breaking it in 2 separate pieces.
Old video but STILL very relevant. Thank you!
What is a good adhesive to glue the foam to the bottom foam in a plano
Bought some of this Plasti Dip to cover an Artemis P15 wooden stock... it's best to sit the can in warm water 5 minutes then a good shake before spraying as it comes out in a nice uniform fine spray :) ps nice idea on the foam I'll certainly be using this stuff on my gun case foam
2 cans... How much does that cost versus just buying solid foam
Thanks for the video. I was hoping there was some solution like this!
I am wondering how hard is the surface. How much does it harden up? I still need it to absorb shock to the product inside.
That was my worry as well.
I used about 4 1/2 cans but, the more coats the better for a good result . I let it sit for a couple days as well. Came out great
Can you do an update on how this mod held up over the past year?
A question, Is it soft and if so,, does remain soft? I don't want it scratching my gear. In my case, camera lenses and bodies.
Or gassing off, which will fog/coat the lenses.
TIA
Thats awesome
Gorilla rubber sealer works great also.
Great video :D Rips foam at 5:48 hehe
The only reason I don’t want to do this, is that as a photographer, my gear is constantly changing, so I want to make sure I can always add slots for lenses without having to buy a whole new set of foam
you must not be talking about spraying the foam with plastic-dip.
Just cut new holes through the plasti dip
Looks like after you pulled the barrel out you pulled all kinds of Squares out that you didn’t want to Mention lol
I used gorilla sealant, it sucked. I wish I went with the plastic dip
You did it outside cause that shit in your spray can is toxic AF and you dont want any of it in your lungs. xD ... yeah maybe weather is nice too. Thanks for foam info xD oh yeah, I wouldnt spray that on any mechanical device of any sort hehe
Would the plastic dip sprayed in the slots scratch the coating of your items?
Why not just flip the foam over after plucking?
i like the jibber jabber. it means he knows alot and has to get it all out. sub'ed for your attitude. keep it up.
Spray gun gets finally loose at 5:00...
I'm doing mine right now. It's the small harbor freight "pelican case" it's looking like it's gonna take the whole can of spray
You mean Apache?
@@nomad155 is that what the small case is called?
spray it with hairspray before painting it. it doesn't soak near as much
If some of the foam is torn will this affix it to the foam around it
Excellent info, but way too wordy for my taste. I hit the 10-second ff key through 90%.
I thought so too. among other things.
Great video, I'm active duty USAF. Thank you for your service! Sub'd
besides plasti dip theres a spray glue designed to use on foam. that would be better stuff in 1 applications
www.sailrite.com/NG633-Foam-Lock-Spray-Adhesive-12oz
JB is that stuff made for joining the foam or just gluing foam together? I ask because I tried the 3m super 77 that pelican recommends for gluing foam. That works great for gluing the layers together or gluing it to the case but it's useless for bonding the individual cells like he did in this video. Not only does it not really hold the cells together but it stays sticky for a long time/possibly forever. Did mine 24 hours ago and it's still sticky. If I put a knife in my case it sticks in and when I read it out it has glue on it.
Learning this the hard way: this is best done right away, when the foam is new and the blocks are together. I did the Plastidip spray a couple years in, when some of the blocks were very loose or missing. Do this the right away after you decide on your configuration. 2023 cost at Home Depot is about $10 per can.
Mix wood glue and water, brush on, save cash
I would have used the empty space for a few boxes of ammo.
So glad there was an NC weather report.
i'm assuming its good idea to have it all plucked out and set up the way you like it before you spray it down with the plasti dip. I thought about doing it on mine...but my set up in my case isnt' complete. My fire arms hasn't had its red dot put in yet and will need future cutouts for it.
Plasti Dip is ok, but Flex Seal a much more durable choice.
They are literally the same thing...
Pluck and pluck should be illegal. I’ve never had a problem just taking a sharp knife to regular foam.
I use Flexi seal . I used that plastic seal on tools and it dose peal from metal
Great tip, Kotaboy. I just started picking & plucking my brand new Pelican 1510 and already the pieces are coming apart. I’m going to get some Plasti-Dip.
It might take a little practice. But a whole new set of P&P is only about $40, so if I screw it up, it’s not like I wrecked a $180 case.
Also, you are clearly no fan of the factory P&P, so I give you extra points for not using a word that rhymes with “pluck” every time you call it by name! :D
wow, you used two cans on that foam? that seems like a ton of product
It soaks it up
Try Flex Seal, I bet it will work much better.
Love the Publix ad! up, you're from the southeast!
Can confirm Plastidip works.
Ahhh! Very cool. I would use this method ANY day over $50-$60 for a new piece of foam. GREAT video!!! :)
kotaboy32 Firearms Review
Ah! OK. Noted. Thank you.
Thanks for another great practical tip.
Nice Kota
Loved this idea. And just applied, but what everyone needs to know is that YOU ARE DEALING WITH HAZARDOUS MATERIAL.
YOU SHOULD BE WEARING A MASK ACCORDING TO THE SAFETY DATASHEET.
Nd yes do it outside NOT BECAUSE ITS NICE AND SUNNY. It’s because YOU DONT WANT TO BREATHE IN THIS STUFF
Dude we get it, just get on with it already..
i USED TO DO A LITTLE FIBERGLASS WORK BUILDING A SOLAR BOAT. i GOT SOME RESIN ON FOAM ONCE AND IT GETS ROCK HARD. i THEN THOUGHT THAT IT MAYBE POSSIBLE TO THEN WITH A SAW AND OR CHISEL. tO FORM AND SHAPE WHAT EVER YOU WANTED. Say for instance a fore grip or something. Never ended up doing it.
I was inspired by your vids to finish my Pelican 1600 go box. The plasti-dip tip worked perfectly. My AR pistol is nearly identical to yours. Went with my Sig M11A1 for the handgun. I added a spot for a Howard Leight Impact Sport hearing pro. I also cut a small section in the second layer of foam for a desiccant pack. Thanks for the vid and the ideas!
So instead of spending a couple bucks more for solid foam you spent big bucks on several cans of plasti and made a glob by mess and wasted lots of time.
Thank you for posting this video! I have used Pelican, and knockoff cases for 25 years to house electronics and computer peripherals. Love the pick and pluck concept, vs cutting foam w/ a hot knife, but the fact that the cubes can inadvertently tear off, is frustrating. So, finally have a solution!
Hey Kotaboy32 what pelican case is that, I have a 7.5" barreled ar pistol and and ar 9mm with a 4" barrel, I would like to do a case like yours. Thanks
I have been looking for this video. I wondered how PlastiDip would do at sealing the foam.
Recently I Plucked it Up on a Apache Case from Harbor Frieght. Great Case for $33. This literally "Seals the Deal". With out it, it becomes a Pluckin' Mess! ;)
Great Tip - just got a CaseMix for my Nikon Z6 and kit lenses and adapter (for non Z lenses) so we are talking about $4K and I was sticking it away with other stuff not good to keep near this equipment... but I will - constantly - be pulling and pushing at the sides of those grooves... this should do the trick!
You mustve used how many cans to get it to look that solid? Does it still even have cushion? Mine turned out crunchy. Maybe flex seal will work?
Does the foam still have give to it? I don’t have a foam cutter so I just use the squares and it doesn’t fit exactly but I’m worried the plasti dip would make it too solid.
I did this, but the problem I had was the plastic dip reacted with the G10 on my knives and turned the black G10 white.
Thanks!! Thanks!! Thanks!! Its works!
I concur, especially for us OCDs. Plasti Dip evens-out the appearance because it fills gaps, and stabilizes shape. Disliked having to buy it but at least it can be used on other items.
After all is completed, and after storing the case and opening a week later.. does it have an odor of plasti dip when opening up the case
I went the Apache route as well, as good as the case is i hate the pick and pluck foam, i believe ill use the Plasti Dip on it but im gonna order a couple pieces of the solid foam and use a hot knife to cut out the layout, i think it'll give a better look overall, thanks for the video
Is just using kaizen foam better? I’m aiming for tool organization. Either way good information and thanks for the video
you should add one thing to that case that is often over looked, you need a trauma kit in case the worst happens. just my opinion.
I think I'd be motivated to cut out some of that dead space in the middle just so that I can throw some stuff in it.
Do you recommend spraying it on the inside of the foam where the firearm, magaize , etc will be touching it?
That's covered in the video
Great idea.
What pelican case is that?
Great video man. Other 'how to' channels should learn from you.
Clear and concise instructions.
Details presented without rambling on unnecessarily.
No unnecessary camera moves.
Background music is in the background, not competing with the presenters voice.
Well done sir!
I have closed cell foam. I feel like plastidip wouldn't work the same on it.
for a long gun pelican, which model would you recommend?
I'm having trouble deciding. lol
I'm wanting to put my AR pistol, Glock 17, and extra mags in there. Can't decide if the 1700 or the 1720 would be better.
Again great video brother!
Airborne!!!
Blank Body thanks for that. I'll check it out.
SGT. York that does help. Thank you.
you think kaizen foam is better than pick and pluck from Pelican ?
That is genius man! I’m doing this when I get home from work today lol
Thank you for this video! I have a Pelican 1400 case for m,y DJI Mavic Pro. I fly my drone alot and after the first few weeks I noticed the Pick N Pluck foam as started to show some wear and tear. I would love to get a foam cut-out specific for my Mavic however its more than half the price of the case just for a foam replacement. I'll spend $6 or so on a can of plasti-dip. Awesome video!
Doesn’t the Mavic come with it’s own hard shell case? What was wrong with the original case it came with? I’m in the process of getting the new Mavic
Help ! lol ok I've got a case with the same removable blocks. And had it so long they've broken down. Can you tell me where I can get New solid foam sheets from. I can't seem to find them. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for the video. keep up the great work.
Kotaboy32 Tactical Firearms Review well I tried to get the size I needed about 8 months ago and they only had narrow slips that I would have to place 3 side by side. I haven't looked since. but would love to get the size I need for my AR. Thanks for the help. ill go back and look again.
@@widowmaker8338 try kaizen 24"x48"x(three dif thickness 20mm 30mm 57mm)
@@Dreadylock9170 thank you very much for your information.
Good and very accurate designs are on the woodprix website.
I used it on a Fde part that wasn't even close to the rest of the Fde parts. Worked great, holding up. If you like the heavier texture matte finish. I'd use it again.
