This effect gives me so many possible ideas about what I can do when I begin to repaint my '94 Super V 2000. Over then past years I've grown bored with the plain jane black and silver of the factory style paint I did on the bare frame. Can't wait for the next video to see what ideas it sparks .!!

I tried this method earlier though the urea solution wasn't sticking to the surface like yours does in the video, I know it works because the solution got in my gloves and crystallized, but on my test panel it would just slide right off, do you have any tips on what I could be doing wrong?

@user-xf1yz9kg5c Жыл бұрын

@@nowyourefinished6481 i found a fix. Use hot water in a pan or bowl to heat the mixture within a container. Also use dish soap instead. What i did was i made the liquid saturated, filtered the extra ereum and added a little extra destilled water to the mixture. Make sure not to use it in a cold environment since the saturation is also based on the temperature. What i experienced is that it didn’t crystallize at too cold conditions. It just became one big mess. 20 degrees c with a window open gave me great results. Let me know if you need help

I really hope i get this down one day! This method doesn't work for me, but if i add some dish soap it does. Maybe it's a bad wettner agent batch. Im 4 tries in, it hasn't been easy. I'm not getting deep crystals. Temperature really, really, really matters and it gets lost in the juxtaposition topics of the school portion.

У меня тоже кристаллы получаются короткие. При уменьшении концетрации мочевины крилсталы становятся длиннее. Так же большое влияние на форму кристаллов оказывает окружающия среда. Необходима влажность и температура. И возможно ультофиолет (еще не пробовал). С кристалломи мучаюсь давно . Уже заканчивается второй килограмм мочевины, а пробники для опытов у меня по 25 граммов. Еще важно как вы наносите раствор на деталь. Мартин не хочет выдавать все секреты, его право, поэтому приходиться мучаться. Всем удачи.

@Grilla-sp8ks Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the explanation. I'm a little confused about the use of the wetting agent. According to the product links in your description, the agent is used for water based paints. However, I thought the Rust-Oleum paints you recommend in your description were epoxy/enamel based paints. Are they not? Or, is the repelling nature of the of the two part of what creates the effect?

@ETOE Жыл бұрын

You don't mix the wetting agent in the rustoleum color. You mix it in the distilled water which should be water-based.

@89GTFoxDude 4 ай бұрын

@@anthony_trillanes The problem I had with dish soap is trying to get rid of the bubbles. You don't want those drying up on the surface of the part. I've had some luck with the crystals but often they didn't form how I like and they only formed were the solution stayed on the part. I think it also depends on the size of the part you are using. I think it works best on large parts with not alot of angles. But for now, I gave up on the project. I think the problem may be the silver paint. It does not let water stick to it. I watched the video again and he briefly mentioned he clearcoated it and wetsanded after. I will try that. Maybe the solution sticks to the sanded clearcoat better.
