redipping
Second dunk in
Redipping is the act of dipping something again—a chip back into salsa, a brush into paint, a piece of fruit into chocolate for a second coat.
The word often appears in contexts where the practice is discouraged: No redipping! It's unsanitary.
In manufacturing or finishing, redipping may be a standard step to ensure even coverage.
