[@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 ;)

[@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 ?

[@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.

[@aldomoreno1630]

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

[@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....

[@datodato2205]

What is sprey that used? What is its name pls

[@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...

[@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

[@millertime4x494]

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

[@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.

[@jackallen6506]

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

[@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.

[@tankerboysabot]

so what im understanding is the finger sticky side goes down on the water? or does it go up? im a little lost, i would have figured the sticky side is what you want first on the item youre dipping?

[@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

[@colinmorris8809]

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?

[@e604e]

so do i need to prime it first? whats the black vinyl dye for or the enamel paint?

[@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]

[@joshuagonzalez1399]

[@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

[@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.

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.

[@antonysafari1]

Hi. I'm having trouble hydrographic film dipping. Everytime i pull out whatever im dipping, the paint just runs off. Ive practiced with plastic casings from my chainsaws, phone cases and nike Af1 shoes. Ive acetoned the items prior to dipping. I've used different water temperatures, put film sticky side down. Applied activator and waiting for various different times before dipping. Ive held the item to dip under the water for longer before pulling it out. Still runs off. Please help me.

[@milo-sh6nr]

Does anyone know were I can find the vampire film?
