Hey everyone, I recently purchased a dumbbell set online, but the plastic covering on the weight plates feels a bit flimsy and delicate. Should I wrap them with duct tape to prevent the plastic from breaking if it does? Has anyone else done this?
I’m not sure if using tape is the best approach since I don’t fully understand what’s going on with your weights. However, I can assure you there are better options than duct tape. Try to find something like electrical tape, which has a bit of stretch and won’t wear out as quickly.
Edit: I also just remembered that I suggested electrical tape because I get it for free at work, so the cost might influence your decision.
I had plastic weights filled with sand or concrete, and over time they cracked and started to spill out.
You could always consider getting something like this.
