I am a teacher, and I am giving you an A+. Let me clarify, not an art teacher. Gen Ed is my domain. However, I am an autodidact and a lifelong learner. You guys get an A+ from this elementary teacher. The rubric gives 1 point for clear instructions, 1 point for presentation, 1 point for language, and 1 point for time management. 5/5 guys, perfect A+!

[@Trophyseek1]

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

[@Jimmy2Tech]

Trophy seek thank you. Glad you found it useful!

[@jesuschrist1310]

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

[@bagrbuckcustomhydrographic5697]

Great job guys! We've got tons of hydro dipping videos coming out soon, posting every other day :)

[@will2-b150]

I would have to recommend using a tack cloth for the drying process as paper towels can leave behind particles...

[@Jimmy2Tech]

[@kevinl3235]

Thanks for making this video! I found out doing the prep work is extremely important or the film won't stick to your project. Don't cut corners when doing this or you will definitely fail.

[@Jimmy2Tech]

Great! Exactly spot on. I can not stress enough that prep and dry time is extremely important in dipping.

[@mullet86]

Thank you very much for your comment. Good luck in future projects.

That was a great tutorial. You're right about some of them being a bit sparse. Nice attention to detail. But, the primer\first coat part of it could benefit from a bit more expansion.

Kick off your search by lookong for hydrographic film online and you'll find a large variety of films to choose from. You can get from Amazon, eBay, and a ton of other websites.

[@Labyrnthdom]

FYI on the respiratory protection you are presenting in this video. Those 2 masks you have are totally different. The dust mask definitely will not protect you from any hydrocarbons. The half mask respirator will protect you from hydrocarbons. As long as you are using the correct cartridge for it. The dust mask is useless for the aerosols used for hydro dipping. It will only be good for particulates while sanding.

[@daniisalas_]

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.

[@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:)

I've only just come this across product , and have begun researching it as a possible finishing touch to my customized motorhome dashboard . I've done some quite major modifications .

By that i mean dashboard cover around the heater , air vent etc .

[@Jimmy2Tech]

We personally haven't had any problems with heat effecting the film. We had another video where we put film on the side view mirrors on the truck and that stayed on there for years unaffected by the rain, sun, and snow. Keep in mind it's just, film on your product so heat isn't to much of a concern.

[@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.

I have a question: If I hydro dip my shoes, will it lose its color if exposed to heat?

[@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.

[@GrahamJohnMusic]

I have severe asthma and I do this. If you get yourself a decent mask respirator, you should be good to go 😊

Question sir... how about i want my own design printed..what kind of paper/film do i need to buy? And what kind of ink do i have to use (pigment,sublimation,toner etc) Thanks

[@Jimmy2Tech]

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.
