I forget if I saw it mentioned here or on YouTube. You recommended something to place in front of plates that were not drop rated to help keep the plates from cracking.

What was that and where can I find it?

It would be for those surplus safariland plates venturesurplus.com sold a couple years ago.

Not the answer you were looking for, but I wonder if you could use some spray on truck bedliner-type stuff?
