Repairing Joystick/Thumbpad on Gamecube Controller

Step 2: Prepping the drying rack

You're gonna need to have a place where you can let the Plasti-Dip dry, if you already have a place in mind, just lay some paper towels under it and disregard this step.
I poked 4 holes into a cardboard box that my TV came in, threaded the aluminum wire through and tied it together on one side. Don't tie it too tightly or you will cut through the cardboard, just enough to make it a little tight.
Plasti-Dip is pretty thick, but there will probably be some dripping so don't let the controller dry over anything you want to keep.
