F19 Camo :biggrin:

[amberjack]

Never thought I would get in to camo on a detector or anywhere for that matter, but sort of growing on me so I tricked it up a bit more

if anyone feels the same way shoot me a PM I can give brand and code its a real good match, I just made it with 1 roll, don't know how long it lasts for or if its meant to come off once a year or what ever maybe someone who knows more about the glues on this tape can help out? am I allowed to mention brands? would have been good if they did the coil cover or i could have put some tape on the edge but run out, but I guess at night I need to see where the coil is right ?

anyway here it is

Does tie it all together nice.

 

[amberjack]

yeah feels a bit more solid, didn't do the cams, or the coil end so I can change coils when needed but did everything else I bought some other rap to wrap the grip in camo too, stops the grip falling apart, its set to where I need it length wise so don't have to move the bottom pole. so yep its feels good

Looks good , the wrap you wrapped it with, is it the Camo stretch wrap, cloth type. If so watch out for pickers, it will tear it to threads. A big mess. But I like it. I use that wrap for all my hand grips. It is also washable. All my hand grips stay like brand new. Anyways it looks like a sniper and bet it will snipe those coins quick . Lol. GS

Hi GS

thanks !
no not the stretch cloth, but yes have some on the way I use that on my grips too it has black on at the moment but got some camo coming may as well go all the way right you are right it keeps them like new

its the cloth stuff but not stretch has some sticky on so guess have to replace it every 12 months or so, will see how it goes.

pickers???

I know I never thought I would like camo but once I got the tape on I really liked it, just hope I don't put it down somewhere and lose it

Great job, AJ! I wonder, does that stuff soak up water?

Can a guy spray it with some sort of water repellent after wrapping so it doesnt? I found a roll of an adhesive ace bandage on a soccer field last year and wrapped my grip with it...yes, I like this stuff...I run a straight coil wire with a loop at the top and never adjust the shaft length or change coils, so I'm thinking of maybe getting rid of the camloks and wrapping the whole deal like you did, I know I will get it wet though, so I asked..

You can name it "Dueling Banjo" LOL--just kidding. I Always painted my coils either flat black or OD because most of my first 30 years of hunting were under Combat Conditions.

 

[amberjack]

this is what the add said. havnt tried the spray or wetting it but it feels pretty tough, but cant say 100% but it raps real tight, and I guess time will tell so I will have to get back to you on the wet one.

"Realtree AP camo is neutral, open, contrasty, and realistic. Everything a hunting camo needs to be versatile and effective.

Plus, we've improved our already advanced High Definition printing process so the pattern also stands up to the real-life effects of nature and your washing machine and holds its contrast. The AP means all purpose. We're certain you'll agree it lives up to its name.

• Realtree AP camo pattern
• Easy to apply and remove
• Durable cloth material
• Quality, made in the USA

Great for camouflaging your bow, gun, rifle, camera or any other outdoor gear. Stops glare and protects items from bumps, knock and scratches

Perfect for Hunting, Bowhunting, Archery, Shooting, Shotgunning, Outdoor Photography"

A few years ago when those camo F-75's first came out I bought a couple of those neato camo h.p.'s that Jim made up.----
They not only looked good but they worked great.-----Wished I would have kept them--I'd use them on the F--19.
