Best assistant ever that was the perfect amount of tape, no wasted material 👌

[@junktime6076]

so you had lots of wrinkles and the material probably didn't set right in the water as you're not supposed to tape the material as some have to expand and resize

I've watched a ton of videos recently about hydro-dipping. This was one of the most professional and helpful. Much appreciated!!

[@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:)

[@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.
