[@elizabethcarlton9379]

Thank you so much for sharing how to do this process. There’s people on TikTok doing it and none of them will answer my questions. I’m so glad I found this video. You did an excellent job explaining in layman’s terms.

[@GingerChips]

Bro… best video ever. Congrats on all your success. You deserve it

[@workhardplayhard801]

Don't tape all 4 sides only 2 . The print expans and taping all 4 sides restricts the expansion and distorts the image.

[@jermayneclark848]

I've been watching your videos for about 2+ years working towards finishing this stryfe mod. You're into has been invaluable. Yourself and a couple other content creators (coop, I think and another I can't recall by name) have been of great to help me.. Thank you all so much

[@cassiusonyx6858]

Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

[@dustinpierce2746]

@Cassius Onyx instablaster ;)

[@ccwwing-nutt6228]

WoW, to you sir... I care nothing about toy nerf guns , but i am however interested in the process of hydrodipping. I just wanted to let you know that, that was a rather exceptional "How to Video" Very informative and at a nice pace not to lose interest. good work! can this be done to real guns? where do you get the film and actuator spray?

[@swinsonuk]

All metirials are in the Description box

[@swinsonuk]

and yes, this can be done to real guns. pake sure you prime it first

[@joshuagonzalez1399]

r/iamverysmart

[@philmitchell9552]

Like Crazy can it be done on things that get hot like a car turbo for example? Or would it just burn away

[@alphaplayzz1381]

VELENO156 i dont know but if spraypaint would burn then this type of hydrodip would burn aswell

[@pollyg562]

im giving you all the details,then you dont mention what your spraying the print stuff with,id say that would be a very,important part

[@Mindsplitt3r]

Do some research lazybones

[@deemoskd]

It's activator rare shit

[@avokes6919]

It’s hydro graphic activator. You can get cans of it or bigger bottles to be used with spray guns

[@OfficeDesk215]

Agreed....good video then this mystery item....

[@budakota]

just curious , at time 6:10 you use a spray can , what is in the spray can and what's the purpose of using it ?

[@Azraelfromgamefax]

man. I really like all your videos, but this one was unexpectedly awesome

[@colinmorris8809]

I did my xboxone and ps4 controllers after watching this. thankyou very much, very informative clear easy guide to follow. Next ill be doing my actual ps4 and xboxone console's.

[@carminefamilletti4328]

Colin Morris how I thought Xbox controllers aren't waterproof

[@x_the_mad_man3847]

What did he spray it with was it just water

[@Jack-on8oq]

X_The_Mad_MaN spray oil based paint on like warm water and slowly dip whatever you want into all the paint

[@x_the_mad_man3847]

Jack Wilson thanks

[@jackallen6506]

What’s the bullpup blaster off to the right 10:59

[@beastmastergaming8039]

I think it’s one of his modes ones.

[@leoneltorres441]

Hello there, I just watched your video and it is great, my only question is, what do you spray on top of the film before dipping it?? I will appreciate your response, great job 👍

[@theatf5176]

Primer

[@raypayne4956]

What sort of primer

[@theatf5176]

Paint primer

[@Santinosmostwanted]

It’s activator* to activate the film

[@matz3236]

Its activator. Just google "hydro dipping activator" and it should come up

[@cynthiacler9284]

OMG you have the same exact flooring as my x- husband's childhood home had in it. Sorry I gotta say it doesn't look any better in your house either. LOL But I did find your video full of lots of great info as working with this medium is totally new for me, so thank you for your knowledge.

[@Ariffy04]

Great video Drac

[@aldomoreno1630]

did you have to sand anything and if so what grit sandpaper?

[@HexBeatz]

Did you prime them or anything first, I'm attempting to do this for my pc case and just need to know Is there anything I need to know do I need to spray the case with anything when I dip it

[@suzukirider3980]

question is it necessary to spray that hydrographic activator or can you do it with out ? thank you I'm doing power coating and this Hydro dipping has got my attention also...

[@brandon_yl_is_busted_af9316]

Watched this vid years ago man it brings back memories

[@SandyridgeGR]

You've done a good tutorial. You have a way of putting things into terms easy to understand and very descriptive. You're a natural teacher/instructor.

[@datodato2205]

What is sprey that used? What is its name pls

[@eduardojunioii7247]

I have one question..what are you spraying with before you dip an object?

[@jpz3045]

Eduardo junio II activator stuff You can find it on amazon

[@imnotfuckingusingthisaccou2574]

If you’re not bothered about specific patterns and just some coloured swirls is fine for you then just spray paint into the water. Prep’s a lot easier.

[@Dewx30]

Hi There! Looks fine! Right now i don't know whats happening, but i take the part out of the water, i can't see the pattern, but the film is sticked to the part :( Do you know why is that happening? It's like my pattern is dissapearing... Thanks in advance

[@Peebsfosho1]

What was that that you spray on the pattern before you dip it? And what's this "formula" I keep hearing about? Thanks great video!

[@LordDraconical]

+Dewdrop81 activator, check description box for a length

[@pigbenis2611]

[@moodekhopaap]

[@swagermuffinz8050]

the third stryfe reminds me of taken from destiny. can you do a taken inspired blaster?

[@MahipalYadavmahii]

I am planning to print my custom designs on blank HydroDipping sheets 1. Do I need some sort of activator-A after printing desired design on Blank Hydrographic sheet, to lock the colors on printed sheets? 2. After prinitng the design on glossy side of blank hyfrodipping sheet, the color reminas wer even after 10 hours. Color is not drying on glossy side at all. I am using an HP 410 inktank printer with original HP ink.

[@Cottontopexotics]

a way to keep your temps right could be a heat mate. look up vivosun reptile heat mate you can get one with a thermostat to set the temp and heat the water from 70 to 100+

[@jeremyhoman7186]

Looking to do pvc pipe how would I get the print to be on the whole surface of a round pipe?

[@jeremyhoman7186]

[@jasonputtock4428]

Well I would like to know why you used a spray of a sort when the crytex film was in the box of water. what was that spray can you used. a bonding agent...? I am not referring to your laquering.

[@tucha329]

What you spraied on hydrographics before starting to put details in water?

[@shanemcdonald6332]

When did you add the oil to the water and how much? Also what were you spraying onto the film when it was sitting in the water

[@jackdunigan2861]

Is this process the same for anything I wanted to dip? And last question.... can u use anything for a tub?

[@LordDraconical]

+Jack Dunigan Yes and Yes

[@williamjames0]

Techoblade?? Also amazing video thanks needed help hydro dipping

[@jesmineryckman3157]

[@MrRoccoMarchegiano]

Yeah, you'll be fine. The same process is used for rims on vehicles and such.

[@jesmineryckman3157]

thank you. where do you get your film?

[@millertime4x494]

When doing an inside job like a RC truck body the "water side" would have to be up. does this make a difference?

[@vfgjasminebaker]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this great information! Must try for myself!!!

[@arielbaby9832]

[@truthdrums]

AWESOME video and HELL YES to CLOUDKICKER!!!!!!!

[@tankerboysabot]

[@LordDraconical]

[@mdoooo7]

Great video I want to do that for a long time but I was told it was gonna be very expensive to do when I'm gonna try it

[@ZacVaper]

Hello and good day. You said the sticky side is the water side...I would think the sticky side would be up and against the part. Am I wrong?

[@xcountryx]

do you wet sand and polish the clear coat when done?

[@Robo1337Cop]

Thank you for over-explaining

[@nates9536]

AydenArcherVlogs Nearly anything can be dip painted

[@VwRosstorations]

What are you spraying on the film when in water?

[@pitbull448]

Can you tell us few more details? How long between dipping and clearcoat I'm having issues. I'm using enamel. Let dry ten min between coats. Then dip. Rinse and let air dry. But I've only had succes using aerosol 2k clear if I leave part over night before clear. What your process? How long between each stage for you?

[@mailjake]

Vesper is amazing. I think I'm going to try and make something very similar

[@gavin5410]

Where would you be able to find film like that? Is there a major department or artistic store chain that carries them?

[@gavin5410]

Never mind, I'm an idiot. Although, I still would prefer not to purchase online, if anyone knows of a location.

[@FeralWhisper]

Just found this video, nice and thorough. Thanks for that. But, I have a question. Is there any difference to hydro dipping plastic motorcycle body parts? Would appreciate your assistance. Thanks

[@bolittle1]

I honestly have no idea if there is a difference but I’d assume it would work the same way

[@froglobster]

I met a woman last Saturday she has examples of dips. You can do any plastics, stainless steel, she did umbrella material. Coffee cups, did her car grill and the window louvres And her plastic engine cover. She did woman’s shoes looks hot. All material fabrics etc unlimited.

[@stephenb9940]

[@RyanNelson0402]

[@dennis17116]

You should use spraymax 2k clear. It’s a polyurethane activated paint in a can.

[@Showmetas]

[@NoPro1962]

[@chadbarlow2100]

[@jamesprice647]

Good Video, My question to you is, if I have a plastiv part that is the correct base color i want, can I lightly etch the plastic with Very fine Glass Bead in which i do yo my pre prep on a paint job og a model R/C airplane,. Question being is the surface prp as discribed going to be a good contact and take surgace for the hydro diping. Next, I heed a Clear coat that is almost equilivant to Automotive grade clear acrylic. will that eat the Print design in light coats? And actually how long do you wait if you are going to use a chear coat over the print design? Any guidance will be highly appreciated. Respectfully, Jim "P" Jenuine-motor

[@IDK-gx3fp]
