whitlock Moderator Emeritus Registered: 06/07/04 Posts: 1266 Loc: Stoughton, WI USA	Sounds cool, but i wouldn't want anything gripping my fingers like that. Just take into mind that the plasti dip can dry pretty thick and that may cause friction between the keys. _________________________ MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 2GB DDR2 RAM & 120GB SATA 5400RPM HDD Canon Rebel XTI Google Cr-48 Beta Laptop

destructospin Registered: 07/02/05 Posts: 149	the stuff i got can be pretty thin, two coats will adequately coat the keys and leave plenty of space without sticking the reason im using rubber grip is because i have slight nerve damage to my right hand while i can still type fast, my fingers slip when i hit keys from time to time thus, making me make spelling errors i hope this rubber coating will solve this
