Abstract

A process for permanently attaching smooth finished globules of coating material to the ends of the teeth of molded plastic combs, picks, lifts and the like, including roughening or oxidizing the teeth ends to remove the gloss finish and form a more adherent surface; dipping the roughened teeth ends into a bath of liquid coating material to attach a globule of coating material to each tooth end and cover the sharp mold-parting line located thereat; and drying the globules attached to the teeth ends.
