> Dear rp-ml
>
> I have a contact who wants to coat plastic parts with a 'rubber-like'
> material. The requirements are similar to the elastomeric materials used
> for toothbrush handles and on pen barrels.
>
> As I understand it, this is normally achieved using removable insert
> injection moulding, which is costly and we don't want to go this route
> without knowing that it works first.
>
> Is there a way to prototype this effect by spray coating an elastomeric
> compound on to a plastic part?
