Do you have to always put clear coat or primer before u start hydro dipping?thanks!

So what if I just want to do my plastic engine cover I don’t need to sand or wash it with dawn since it’s plastic and not metal right?

Do you have a link on where to get the tank you have for gun cleaning or did you had that tank build.

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

I got it on ebay. It was called a "gun bluing tank" It was about $300 bucks at the time.

[@carlostrevino2990]

Is the one hit wonder paint heat resistant? Such as for valve covers and intake manifolds an such?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Yes it is good to 400 degrees. I did a video on heat testing.

Do you sand blast skulls too?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Yes, very lightly, about 20-30 psi.

[@erichopkins5522]

If sandpaper is needed can a high build primer be used to makes sure there wouldnt be any problem with sand scratches

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Sand with finer grit to eliminate scratches, don't build up primer for no reason.

[@erichopkins5522]

@@AllThingsFunHydrographics ok that's what I would do but was curious incase one of those "situations" happen. Thanks for getting back and answering my question I'm working on getting my setup going and I've learned a lot from your videos your a awsome guy helping out guys like me

Clean first, scuff or sandblast, blow it off, then flame treat.

How do you hydro dip gun slides from prepping to everything else ?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Same as anything else. Degrease, sandblast, blow off with air, then paint.

[@joseulisesdelgadochio167]

Is the scuffing pad the 3M 7447?

Not sure on the model number, I go by colors. Red or gray scotch brite pads.

Can you do video hydro dipping a wine glass to see how you prep

Sandblast is the only way to prep glass. It would be a really boring video, but thats how to do it. blast it with aluminum oxide or red garnet.

[@normankaster917]

So....I had scooter do a gun stock and scooter did NOT watch your video....36 grit sand paper is not the same as 600 grit... So now I have a stock that's totally 🤬... Now I'm going to do it myself, but what would be the best filter for something like that... The stock is a standard synthetic material... But I might just have to buy a complete new stock because of how bad it is around the action, scooter must have not liked the way the fit was so he preceded to round off EVERYTHING... So I have to strip off everything ( Kuiu Vias) , fit and finish to the action with a "Bondo"?, then clean and prep for the base paint then clean and prep the paint for the film.... 🤬🤬🤬 Next time I work on scooters boat I'm going to bust off all the spark plugs then glue the wires back on and say what, it works just fine, it's just a fishing boat anyway. I'm so pissed right now...I wish I could seen picks thru you tube.

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Oh no... scooter got you! I would start fresh with a new stock if it is that bad. You could try bondo and shape it up a little but that sounds like a lot of work!

Just the tip, eh?? I'm three minutes in and your still in the intro. Finally, gloves?? Cleaning?? Ummm Wow... 🤯🥱 I mean, duh, right? anyways, I'm trying not to thumbsdown man I really am trying.

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Well not everyone that watches the videos are as familiar with the process as you are. I make the videos very basic so that even a brand new person can follow along and learn all the important details. If you saw the massive amount of comments and emails that I have to answer daily about basic stuff like cleaning then you would understand why I go into so much detail for the new people. No reason to thumbs down a person who is taking time out of their day to teach everyone something, but if that makes you feel better then do what you have to.

[@MackSmooth]

@@AllThingsFunHydrographics I apologize.. I was frustrated and it wasn't your fault... it was a good video, my attitude is what sucked.. I didn't thumbs down it. Again, I acted uncharacteristically for myself and even tho I don't know you, never the less I do offer my apology for being a ass.

@@MackSmooth No worries bud, we all have bad days. I appreciate the apology. Sending internet air hug! 😘
