Great video as always Bryan..👍.. man I can't even count how many times I've underactivated film.. it's all part of the game, knowing your gun (or can) is huge in these cases.. I always take advantage of practice passes on masking paper to see how the gun (or can) flows/patterns and what needs to be done to correct it.. No matter what, it's takes doing it alot to be proficient at it as you said.. keep up the good work and excellent product line..✌️
Thankyou for uploading these great videos they are helping me learn more and more about the hydrographics and hopefully some time soon i will be able to try all these out :)
I'm working on learning HG in my garage, I dipped my first test piece. I saw pin holes and immediately though "OOOH Liquid Concepts had a video about this!!" Thanks guys. Im gonna try it again using your tips and hopefully it comes out better!
Hello. You guys are great! I'm learning a lot from your videos. I wanted to ask what you are holding the speed shape with when you dip? Also, what can I hold an RC body with when I dip it?
Most of the time for the speed shapes we have applied a tape tab to the back to hold on too. Stay tuned we will be doing a video soon on dipping an RC body
Thank you. This video helped. What are your thoughts about putting the film in a masking tape frame before placing it into the water? Huge help or hinderance?
Sir, ive a request. Make 1 video that show different between over activator & under activator. Also how itll be if didnt give enough time to the film before spray the activator. So that a beginner like me can learn what cause a defect on my work. Please
Perfect timing on posting this vid! I Tried my first dip today with your carbon fiber and had the pin holes. I def need to use more activator. Quick question, how much does the water temp affect the dip? I've been at 90 - 93 deg (I'm in south fl and its HOT here lol)
The problem I get is that the colors just seem more dull and not as vibrant? I was dipping your joker faces film and the darks were fade. I had like one or two small pinholes around the part. Happens to my carbon fiber as well
Thanks, your videos have been pretty helpful, you and ATF hydrodipping. So I'm trying to use film on a pair of shoes (white DC villain slippers, faux leather), i cleaned them with alcohol to take off the finish. I tried dipping once and the film was pretty thick and didn't stick to my shoe at all, is that most likely under-activating or something else?
Do you have a video with carbon film waving once activated? I’ve been trying to find one and I’m going nuts trying to figure out why my film slightly starts getting waves once activated.
Too much disruption. Rattle cans are notorious for that. If it’s a gun, back the air off a bit or hold further back. Also try tightening up the barriers.
I have been trying to dip my mini 14 stock for the past 4 days now. I have done everything you said. I prep the stock by heat treating it, I scuffed it up, I used One Hit Wonder all in one white spray paint, my water temp is 84.3 deg, I used ink drink spray can activator as directed and I still have tons of pin holes. What else can contribute to pin holes? Could it be a bad run of the film?
So if u under active can u re-dip that part or do u have go thru the painting process first an if u do have to re do it do u clean it like u did the first time or is there a trick to get the film of without messing up the paint
You don't have to use warm water but it will help rinse off the pva faster if your water is warm. As for custom film, just give us a call or email and we can print you any custom film you want! 501-455-5500 or info@liquidconcepts.com
What happened at 12:00 when he was putting the tape on the property dipped part I thought he was going to show us that it won’t lift the film from the part but then it just disappeared and went on to show us the underactivated part fail 🤔🤔
Maybe just editing error but he has a point. If you activate it well it won’t lift maybe you get some small specks here and there but generally it’s all good
Here are a few things that can happen when over activated: * Pattern slides off or rinses off immediately after dipping or rinsing. * Pattern has distinct lines ( hesitation lines ). *Colors appear faded and not vibrant. Hope this helps.
Interesting, I'm also doing hydro dipping for some interieur parts of my BMW and when I touch the film right after the dipping it comes of again sometimes specially at the edges. Does that happen when I used to less activator?
if the film is coming off after you dip the part it sounds like not enough activator was applied to the part. Try applying more activator and see if that helps!

Man- you are a great teacher. I've learned TONS from watching your videos. Thanks good buddy!

Bryan is 80 90° ? Not I Celsius I presume
@@tomasexteriors correct not Celsius..

would have loved to see "over" activated part as well. I need to suck it up and go to class with you.

Crossing my fingers for you .Keep practicing .
Excellent tips and advice 👍👍
What happened to the "properly dipped" one @ 11:50 you put tape on, then there was a alarm for someone at the door, scene cut, then it disappeared?
i learned lot of important things from you about hydro dipping

Again 🥂🤝 this channel is brilliant ❤️keep the good work 🎖️
Nice and quality film, also the activator I hope there is something like that in the Philippines

Also detail duration of all step. Like before rinse, how long should wait it sit?
Great video! I have been having this exact problem.
Glad it helped!

Not that critical I did my first dips at 70 degrees and they came out fine. You just have to adapt your technique to your conditions

Just remember the distance of 30cm between the film and gun while you activate
Can you do a video using a can activator or is the same way like u did with air compressor hydro dipping activator
ruclips.net/video/BBS3mu0w_jE/видео.html
Hope this answers some questions. Thank you for watching !
Wish the on water difference was more visible. The momment right before you dipped the part
What about special order patterns, seems like it falls apart quickly
When rinsing it off what the water temperature should be
I have been trying to dip my mini 14 stock for the past 4 days now. I have done everything you said.

What else can contribute to pin holes? Could it be a bad run of the film?
If the film don't peel off, just touch up the pin holes with paint
So if u under active can u re-dip that part or do u have go thru the painting process first an if u do have to re do it do u clean it like u did the first time or is there a trick to get the film of without messing up the paint
Hey man great videos I've get 2 questions when rinsing do you have to use warm water? How do you make custom prints
You don't have to use warm water but it will help rinse off the pva faster if your water is warm. As for custom film, just give us a call or email and we can print you any custom film you want! 501-455-5500 or info@liquidconcepts.com

@@Imaweirdoforyou yeah I wasn’t disagreeing with him point my film doesn’t come off if I tape it at all but I was wondering what happened
Hi,how do you set up the gun for correct amount of activator
Idk why when I try to rinse my part off all my image comes off
Just curious what do you put inside the speed shape to hold it while dipping?
Do you leave the activator in the gun or do you have to clean out after every use, cool video dude
We leave the activator in the gun as it itself works as a cleaning agent.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA sound, thanks for replying mate
Can u use too much activator? I mean just by going i little overboard I'd rather for that than get pinholes
ruclips.net/video/0SE1Axs0Aws/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/A18TnPAPTkM/видео.html
Hope this helps. You can definitely use too much activator.
Soo u talked about under activating film...... what happens when u over activate the film???
Here are a few things that can happen when over activated:
* Pattern slides off or rinses off immediately after dipping or rinsing.
* Pattern has distinct lines ( hesitation lines ).
*Colors appear faded and not vibrant.
Hope this helps.

if the film is coming off after you dip the part it sounds like not enough activator was applied to the part. Try applying more activator and see if that helps!
I'm in the same boat. Interior parts for my BMW. Third try was better, but still not good enough. Time to find more plastic pieces to practice.
Sería genial que dejara traducir al español
What kind of activatater to use?
www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/supplies/activator
do you have to scuff and prime the speed shapes? thanks
No, unless you want them a different color.
Do you have to clear coat every time?
What's the best color base for carbon fiber films.

Hello my question is .... Can Plastic cup do hydro dipping ?
Do you mean can you hydrodip a plastic cup?
@@LiquidConceptsUSA Yeah
Is there such a thing as to much activator?
Yes there definitely is! With too much activator the print can slide off after the dip
Do you sell fhe activator as well?
Yes we certainly do. Here is the link - www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/supplies/activator
We’re can I find the speed shapes at
Here is a link where you can get them in black and white on our website. www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/supplies/speed-shapes
Is too much activator an issue?
Yes you can have issues of too much activator which can lead to the print slipping off the part.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA thanks 👍🏼
