Air-drying rubber coating that is usually used in the automotive industry is called liquid dip. This can be sprayed directly onto plastics like UPVC and is flexible and peelable.

That’s why liquid dip is such a popular choice– you can spray it right from a can onto any plastic surface.

It seems especially easy for people who want to do the job themselves – it’s always easier if you mess up and you can just peel off the liquid dip and start again.

Liquid dip is touted as a good material, but it is fairly expensive and doesn’t have an attractive finish; it’s rubbery to the touch and looks rubbery.

Liquid dip is relatively smooth once professionally applied, and durable but not resistant to abrasion or friction. So for moving features such as windows and doors, it’s not a great option.

The kind of build that offers practicality, aesthetics and longevity – there are many much better alternatives.
