Post by Bill R. Baker »

Who has tried the Dunlap rubberized coating picks? What is your opinion? Where is the best price? Thanks.

I just scoured Dunlop's website and there's no mention of them.
Best regards,

If the rubber coating is just on the part that goes around your finger, you can to that to any finger pick. Get a can of the stuff that you use to coat tool handles with and just dip that part of the pick in there and let it cure. I tried it once, didn't like it tho. YMMV

FWIW
I have seen finger picks with a short length of heat-shrink tubing on each wrap.
Seems easy to do. One trip to the RadioShack, cut and shrink to fit.

I followed Mike Holland's remedy by using eye glass pads. Works great!

Get a little Rosin that Fiddle players use and rub your fingers with it before you put your picks on. Jim
