How have you been comrades? Been a while since I spammed my homemade weights. The concrete on some of my weight had been getting chipped from impacts between the weights. Got some plasti-dip coating, thinned out slightly with naphtha, and coated the inside and outside of the weights to add some shock absorption and protect the concrete. Of course there was only one acceptable color for such an endeavor. Moving forward I will most likely coat all my weights like this as I make more. For now though it's gonna be a minute before I need to make additions to my collection of plates. May be making more dumbbells in the near future though.
