Dip metal plier tips to coat them with this anti-scratch rubber. It air-dries in 2 to 3 hours, won't chip or crack, and is easy to peel off. Also a great way to protect wire and other items you're manipulating with pliers.  Blue color is easy to see against wire. Try coating the wire you use for jewelry projects, too! Use in a well-ventilated area.  Approximately one year shelf life.  You can get up to 100 "dips" from a single jar.
