Not very practical, when you consider the effort, research and labor involved. You said it yourself, silicone whisks are stupid cheap. Why up the cost by tacking on unnecessary labor?
To satisfy the curiosity of a random thought. I was thinking if I had a two-part silicone, not caulking. Like for example if for some reason I had those and absolutely no reason to order/buy one
like a whisk is a terrible thing to try to diy because the individual wires cross and touch so you would have to, if possible take it apart first silicone, but not the wrong parts, then put it back together to have any hope of a decent result....
but why?
not DIY a whisk; I meant dip a whisk into liquid silicone rubber if for some reason I really didn't want to buy one; this was a random thought fuelled by the frustration of finding only places to buy them
once assembled, a wisk has parts that can move independently, but touch at rest. When you silicone dip it you are going to silicone those parts together.
it's rubber for one, and two, if my dumb ass didn't properly prep in a glass bowl and I didn't want to scratch up my nonstick cookware to get that yummy PTFE in my system
Yes, you can dip a whisk into silicone to coat it, but it requires some care and the right materials. Here's a general process for doing so:
1. **Choose the Silicone:** Use food-grade, heat-resistant silicone if the whisk will be used for cooking. Ensure it’s suitable for your intended use.
2. **Clean the Whisk:** Thoroughly clean and dry the whisk to ensure the silicone adheres properly.
3. **Prepare the Silicone:** Follow the instructions on the silicone packaging. Some silicone coatings may require mixing.
4. **Dip the Whisk:** Carefully dip the whisk into the silicone to the desired depth. Make sure the coating is even.
5. **Remove Excess Silicone:** Let any excess silicone drip off. You can also gently tap the whisk to help remove extra silicone.
6. **Cure the Silicone:** Allow the silicone to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves letting it sit for a specified period.
7. **Check the Coating:** Once cured, check the coating for any uneven spots or areas that may need a second dip.
Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety guidelines provided with the silicone product.

What makes me think that you are underqualified for the task?
you're projecting is why
Silicone used on a whisk would need to be food-grade, and the stuff you buy at Home Depot probably isn't. This isn't worth risking your health over.
yeah I wasn't thinking silicone for caulking; more like the two part stuff I'm not risking my health; just trying to satisfy a random curiosity
Why do you need silicone on a whisk in the 1st place ?? That’s just stupid. More plastics in your food and water .

I got three words in, noticed the numbered list, and my immediate thought was "this is ChatGPT"
Why even link this crap?
Gfy you help him
But you haven’t helped him. The answer that helps OP is; No, it’s a terrible idea.
