Another question

Dear rp-ml

I have a contact who wants to coat plastic parts with a 'rubber-like'
material. The requirements are similar to the elastomeric materials used
for toothbrush handles and on pen barrels.

As I understand it, this is normally achieved using removable insert
injection moulding, which is costly and we don't want to go this route
without knowing that it works first.

Is there a way to prototype this effect by spray coating an elastomeric
compound on to a plastic part?
