THOSE LOOK FREAKIN SWEET! What is this composite decking material similar to? is that rubber spray like the stuff you dip knife handles in and stuff or like the spray on bedliner? those look nice n durable.

Thanks Btoon & Sean, the decking material are cutt-offs that I had laying in my scrap pile from a deck I placed in the backyard some time ago,
It's made from a 'molded' mixture of wood and plastics basically, exactly like Trex or Veranda brand composite decking.
The Plast-Dip spray coating is the coating normally used to give tool handles a grip coating.....it dries w/ a much smoother finish than truck bedliner spray.
Bedliner sprays are not as 'grippy' as the Plast-Dip spray.

qute10, as long as the surface isn't too smooth, it should adhere to just about anything.....I used at one time HDPE & UHMW-PE to make handles for my spearguns,
I would scuff the handles w/ 100 grit to give the spray coating something to cling to.

Every one of those slingshots is classic, Papa. You do good work. I think we live about an hour from one another. Maybe someday in the spring we could do some shooting together. (I'm only good for about an hour or two though, *sigh*.)
