Laura & CTB Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi Claire. Generally if your chickens are scratching about you shouldnt have to cut their nails, they will wear them down themselves. Some of us have painted our roosting bars with Plastidip - a rubberised coating that I have found to be brilliant - they are easier to clean, dont stain and you can paint them cool colours Have a look here: http://www.plastidip.co.uk/index2.cfm?page=products&prodId=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I have painted several sets of bars in Plastidip & it is great. The spray on stuff is way easier to habdle than the gloopy paint on one though! No funky colours here - I have stuck to clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arowland17 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Where can you get the plastidip from? I have seen it can be ordered online but the postage is as much as the can of spray so if anyone knows where it can be bought locally I'd be really grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 They sell this in B&Q I think it's what you need. http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?forceStaticLeftNav=true&action=detail&fh_view=detail&fh_location=//catalog01/en_GB&fh_secondid=9254028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I never found anywhere that sold it, so just bought it online. It came the next day, though I wouldn't hold my breath at the moment I don't think the B&Q one is your actual Plastidip, which seems to be the best one for the job........some people have tried several I think. I do know that Plasticote is not as sucessful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
