Hydro dipping 2011 grips

Anyone tried it? Thinking about trying it with a black hand stippled 2011 grip. Not sure how it'll affect the grip texture or if it'll rub off after time.

You need to get a good clear coat or it will come off fairly easy from what I have seen.  A friend had it done and it didn't hold up to well by itself

I guess I'd need to find a clear coat that's fairly resistive to cleaning solvents

Moly resin comes in matte clear.  No clue if applying it over hydro dip would work or not.

couldn't you just use a clear lacquer from a spray can?  Like done when sealing up a painted grip.  Used that on my stippled and painted grip, holding up fine after several years.

You might want to check some of the guitar building vids where they do hydro dip swirls. It looks like a lot of them are using professional 2 part spray clears to protect them. The problem I could see happening is a lot of the clear coats are going to have a slickness to them, even the matte coat ones which would kind of defeat the point of or at least work against the stippling

I'll look into those suggestions, thanks
