Is there a rubbery spray coating that can be applied to a metal free float tube to stop it from clanking against metal deer stand or other metal parts? I'd like to find something in OD green. I'd like to also still be able to use add on rails on my vent slits

I like the Mcnett Camo Form http://www.mcnett.com/tactical/camoform#19716
It's similar to an Ace bandage and adheres to itself. Easy to apply and reusable to a degree. Here's me 6.5 all dressed up for coyote hunting

good ideas. I have a buddy that does bedliners...but i don't know if they are rubbery or end up hard. If the stuff end up hard it would still clank. Id like something permanently rubberized in OD green....I know Hogue makes rubberized float tubes...but I want one narrower with vents.

I've used the bed liner to coat the underside of a mower deck. It's tough and durable, but the one I used had small chunks in it. Good for a grip, but would probably interfer with add on rails, small screws.
Years ago I had the same problem with my first climbing stand. I used some 3/4" pipe insulation on the stand parts that would contact my gun as I rested it on the stand. I also used thick "water proofing" tape that was about 2" wide to tape everything up on the stand. Probably 20 years and most of it is still on there.

I actually like the feel, it gets softer as it gets thicker, of course.
If I was doing it and wanted OD green, I'd look for the yellow and get some blue and start mixing. I think painting over it would be tough because it is flexible. Once you painted it, I think the paint would crack and peel, and thats assuming that the paint doesn't start to dissolve it and leave a mess!

If I was going to do something to my gun that affecting the barrel like that, I would prefer it to no be permanent. I know that isn't what the OP wants, but I am thinking that he is looking for a long term solution to a short term problem and that maybe the long term solution will not be as useful in the future as circumstances often change.Last edited by Double Naught Spy; 12-08-2013, 02:46 AM.Kill a hog.
