[@LoneStarWomanInACajunWorld]

Thank you so much! I was wondering about this! You explained perfectly!

[@catherinetodd]

Thank you so much - I've been trying to find out to do this, and what kind of paint to use. Do we have to use the brand "Wonder Paint" you mention? Or are there others if we can't order Wonder... (I'm in Guatemala). I can't thank you enough for making this video. Gracias amigo!

[@Jimmy2Tech]

Catherine Todd no problem glad it helped you out! You dont have to use Wonder paint, it's just that my father and I perfer it because its paint and primer in one and has a longer dip window. This was useful because sometimes we prepped things to dip, painted them and didnt get to actually dipping them for several months. Although, if you're going to dip immediately after your paint dries nothing is stopping you from using your store bought paint and primer! Thanks for watching, and best of luck dipping:)

What if the part you want to dip is already painted, do you still need to paint it or can you skip that step

[@Jimmy2Tech]

That's up to you. Fresh paint will always dip better. If you decide to use the current paint just remember to clean off any access oils and grease with a cleaner.

[@inthegameroompodcast]

Really great video. Do you have a good source for getting custom transfers made from our art?

[@FartBux]

cool project, makes for a really cool gas cap

[@sjscreations2608]

Hi Jimmy, what is the actual item that wraps around your gas cap? You talked about an activator and a sealer. Sealing is common sense, however do you need an activator to start the process of bonding! Can you buy the sprays from a hardware store or are they speciality items? Never seen this before, obviously, but I found it fascinating, and you did a great job! Well done! Cheers Sean

[@Jimmy2Tech]

The Bungling Woodworker hey there, the base coat on our gas cap was the OHW (one hit wonder) which allows for a longer dipping window (time between painting base coat and dipping item in film). The activator is sprayed on the film 60 seconds before you dip to allow the film to adhear to the item you are dipping. Then you have you're sealer which is pretty much a clear coat after the item is dipped, rinsed and dried. Others have tried paint from the hardware store with mixed resuls, but for doing it properly, getting the kind I have here or one like it (with a large dip window) will give you the best results. Hope this helps! If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Glad to help. Thanks for watching, be sure to hit that like button and sub. More content will be put up soon:) stay tuned.

[@sjscreations2608]

Thanks Jimmy very much appreciated. I asked a guy near where I live if its possible to turn a photo into film and he gave me the run around. Do you work with hydro dipping, because it looks like it in your vid's??? Cheers Sean

[@Jimmy2Tech]

The Bungling Woodworker hey, and no we don't work in it, we saw it around once and me and my dad went half and half on supplies, did some studying and took a shot at it. So we are self taught! Deffinately a fun hobby to get into. Working on more videos, I wanted to do a more in depth how to, but takes alot of time and it's harder between my classes and work and my father's schedule. But keep your eyes out :) thanks for the questions and support. As I said if there's anything else I can help you with just let me know. Glad to help.

[@Overwatch118]

The activator is a specialty item, not available locally. The film is a Poly Vinyl Acetate or Poly Vinyl Alcohol. which both dissolve in water ideal is 93F cooler give you a bit more time and hotter is just bad for the film. Next the activator melts the ink, now at a point before dipping the ink becomes very slimy and stringy or sticky of you must. At the point when you dip the piece through the floating ink, it adheres to the pain on the piece being dipped. Once dipped the swirling of the part under water also helps push the ink onto the item. the activator is still melting the ink into the paint. Allowing it to sit in the air a bit allows the activator to evaporate. Then rinse the slime which is PVA off. A close up of the piece would have shown if the activator was applied properly. if you have spots of the base paint showing then you did not get even coverage. and you either touch it up or start over.

[@nicjgoss7069]

can you make the film or do you have to buy it

[@Jimmy2Tech]

In this application you would have to buy it, but there are printers that can actually print the pattern but you'd have to look into that better as we haven't done it personally.

[@paulgoodier3777]

Do you buy your sheets from any particular supplier? Nice vid you make a good team

[@Jimmy2Tech]

paul goodier thanks. It's that father and son duo. If your referring to the film as sheets, not specifically. I just try to avoid getting the film from China for example because shipping takes forever and the quality of the film seems to be lacking.

Hi again dude. Just wondering. Can you use a tack rag as a final wipe cloth before it’s Chen prepped. ?? Just for the dust etc. Or is there a chemical in tack rags that may prevent the film to fully bond. ?? Thanks in advance. 👍

[@Jimmy2Tech]

@@s5living.262 unfortunately I'm not sure. If there is an type of oil or grease in anything you use you may have troubles.

[@JU57US]

So I've always heard that hydro dip, especially on plastics, resulted in an extremely durable finish. So why spray on the clear coat? Is that necessary?

[@Jimmy2Tech]

It's honestly whatever you feel you need to do for the application. We prefer clear coat because it of course gives it a nice gloss, but also is an extra small layer that protects the dip from the elements (weather, small scratches). If you dont want to you're not required to:)

[@legalizeer]

Is it 90 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit

[@Jimmy2Tech]

90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius:)

Hello jimmy thank you for the video I would like to have each other after painting my piece how long I let it dry before soaking and if it does not stick what could be the problem thank you again for your advice

[@Jimmy2Tech]

Hello, after painting, let your item fully dry. Itsbest to wait a day to be sure but must paint will dry sooner. If your dip is not sticking it could be a variety of things. It could be not enough activator being used, or the item having oil or grease onit before it is dipped eetc. We have a second video that may also help!

I dont know to much on creating your own patterns. I do know there are some companies that can make your patterns if you send them to them. I've also seen film printers but we havent had the chance to get one yet or learn more about them. So unfortunately we are not to much help in that department.

Beautiful job!!

[@nopro5433]

It would be nice to know what type of paint that can be used a slower drying paint could have adhesion prolbs for the hydro if not fully cured if you cap it off with hydro dip could trap solvents causing it to delaminate is it laquer / enamel ect.? also what is the actual substrate of the activator? And what clear coat can be compatible.over the final product .I am an auto painter by trade just curious can prolb save a buck by knowing what these aerosols actually are MSDS.

[@Jimmy2Tech]

MO FO hey there. Yeah unfortunately we are new to to dipping game so we don't have all the knowledge yet about making our own activator and so forth. But if anyone is curious there are youtube videos out there on it. I'm in the process of learning it and making a more in depth activator video. So if you're curious keep your eyes open:) thanks for watching!

[@Overwatch118]

See that is the problem with these videos. 95% of the people doing these have attempted a few things and been lucky so you say its easy. Plus you have left out the the safety hazard of inhaling the activator. Since you are learning you should not be doing videos.

[@bryanroupe8646]

ONE MORE FISH you dont even need paint just the activate which you spray over the fill after you put it in the tub

[@SternLX]

The activator is primarily Xylene(roughly 50%). The one I've used also include Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and 1 or 2 others that make up the rest that I can't recall off the top of my head. Google 'hydrographic primer' and you'll get a list of all kinds of stuff related to it.

So could I also do it like this? 1. Tape object 2.sSet primer to object 3. Spray paint water. 4. Dip object 5. Let object dry Is that good or what I’m really getting into hydro dripping! Ty for the amazing tutorial!😁

[@Jimmy2Tech]

Glad we could help you:) to hydrodip with hydrographic film use the process in the video. We haven't experienced much with other methods.

What about the tape or film all about, what material is it for it to work

[@Jimmy2Tech]

@@armandovillarreal7819 its hydrographic film. It activates with hydrovator which allows it to adhere to the item you are dipping.

[@armandovillarreal7819]

@@Jimmy2Tech thank you for replying :D

[@greenwolf401]

Seems like it would be easier to tape it before you clean it.

[@renesysval]

You're just an ignorant ignorant ignorant person. This video was posted to educate others including young impressionable minds. Why throw a comment like that on a great video here. ??

[@toma1460]

Great video Jimmy. Thanks for including safety advice for the younger folks out there who may not have any aerosol, or chemical experience. Props man.

[@Labyrnthdom]

Tom A Although it was made to educate as you say. However, when you educate young people incorrectly. That is a problem. The respiratory information given in this video is incorrect and can cause people to damage themselves. You cannot educate if your not educated about the topic yourself.

Is Any clear coat good or is there a preferred and a stay away from?

[@rayjohnson1974]

Very Cool great video, what happens if you dont do it perfect and it has a flaw can it be removed and redone

[@Jimmy2Tech]

If you mess up it can be redone. It takes a little time to remove and reprep the surface but its doable.:) the process depends on what you're dipping too, because if it's a metal object you could easily throw it in the sand blaster and have the old film removed off there in a few short minutes.
