Thank you so much for sharing how to do this process. There’s people on TikTok doing it and none of them will answer my questions. I’m so glad I found this video. You did an excellent job explaining in layman’s terms.
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
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.
@Cassius Onyx instablaster ;)
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.
cutting on the kitchen floor?!?! OH NO!!! there goes the vintage 70's linoleum!!!
deth502 i thought the same thing lol
like plz my mom said if I get 5,000 likes she will get me a xbo one s

Lathan Terry))) ooo that would be cool!
Awesome tutorial! Can't wait to put it to use on some new projects.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this great information! Must try for myself!!!
Well done I had one engine part done and it looked so easy now after watching this I'm going to try do my own if I can get the print
Thanks for the tutorial! I've been wanting to try hydro dipping for a while now, it looks so cool!
Have u tried it yet
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.
Thank you very much for over explaining it ! I needed it !! You're the man thanks so much 🙏

thank you so much drac it is really helpful
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Drac those are amazing!!! nice!!!
That is so sick dude!!!! Very helpful and very informative, thanks!!!
-Dadpool

Very cool, always wanted to know how this was done
Omg now I rlly wanna do it XD! Thanks for the tutorial! It’s super duper cool!!!!
Great video I want to do that for a long time but I was told it was gonna be very expensive to do when I'm gonna try it
Yass, been waiting for this for awhile
dude, golden video!!! thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video.. cannot thank you enough...
AWESOME video and HELL YES to CLOUDKICKER!!!!!!!
Love the vids drac keep it comming
What if I use krylon paint+primer spray paint instead of automotive paints. It says it will adhere to plastic and I'm going to sand the plastic anyway and clean so the paint has something to adhere to. Do you think this would allow the film to stick onto the paint? The color is going to be flat white from krylon. Also, how's that clear coat holding up?
We had that exact same vinyl flooring in our kitchen growing up. Remember it like it was yesterday.
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
Do some research lazybones
It's activator rare shit
I did my xboxone and ps4 controllers after watching this. thankyou very much, very informative clear easy guide to follow. Next ill be doing my actual ps4 and xboxone console's.
Colin Morris how I thought Xbox controllers aren't waterproof
What did he spray it with was it just water
X_The_Mad_MaN spray oil based paint on like warm water and slowly dip whatever you want into all the paint
Jack Wilson thanks
Great video Drac
dood, these are incredible!
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.
Hey drac quick question. How would this apply to gaming controllers? would the clear coat be too glossy to hold properly? would NOT using clear coat mess up the pattern? what would you recommend to do differently? if anything at all
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...
Hey drac, i know this isn't pertaining specifically to hydro dipping but how would you go about restoring a close to ruined stryfe shell and then prepare it to hydro dip?, By the way that mosaic looking film looks amazing.
did you have to sand anything and if so what grit sandpaper?
can these be done on plastic drinking glasses too? and will it stay sense t cup will be washed
Dear Lord: Really good video!
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
WOW man ty for the how to!!!
Thank you for your nice details video
That was very informative ...
Is that a Dark Drinker from Destiny I spy in the background of the clear coat section? If so I'm hyped for a video on it.
Well done! Thanks!
the third stryfe reminds me of taken from destiny. can you do a taken inspired blaster?
Hey Drac, I wanted to know what you sprayed onto the film before dipping the item.
Good Video, My question to you is, if I have a plastiv part that is the correct base color i want, can I lightly etch the plastic with Very fine Glass Bead in which i do yo my pre prep on a paint job og a model R/C airplane,. Question being is the surface prp as discribed going to be a good contact and take surgace for the hydro diping. Next, I heed a Clear coat that is almost equilivant to Automotive grade clear acrylic. will that eat the Print design in light coats?
And actually how long do you wait if you are going to use a chear coat over the print design?
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
Respectfully, Jim "P" Jenuine-motor
Good job,picked up tape trick here,wondering how to keep from spreading
awesome video
awesome job!!
What you spraied on hydrographics before starting to put details in water?
hye bro, u r doing a nyc job, I jxt hav 2 questions,
1st, from where(online) I can buy this film?
2nd, the sticky side goes upward or downward in tank?
waiting for ur rply*
Thank you for over-explaining
A Stryfe named Vorpal with a dragon scale pattern? Awesome Jabberwock reference there to the commissioner who had this done.
+Derek Shy-Borg i made it to raffle, the reference is my own.
First how long do you wait after spraying activator to dip and second were did you get the film.
Hey, I know this was ages ago. But can you tell me if you had to do an undercoat or not for the film to stick?
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
Just asking, can you dip a stock colored stryfe and it will look just like the third one (given that we are using the same film)?
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?
All metirials are in the Description box
and yes, this can be done to real guns. pake sure you prime it first
r/iamverysmart
Like Crazy can it be done on things that get hot like a car turbo for example? Or would it just burn away
VELENO156 i dont know but if spraypaint would burn then this type of hydrodip would burn aswell
Hi Thanks for vid.
Can please supply the product brand name for the Activator?
Thx gG
do you know if you can use an iron to smooth out air bubbles, I tried to dip my blaster and there were bubbles everywhere
man. I really like all your videos, but this one was unexpectedly awesome
Hey, Drac! I love this technique. However, so far, all tutorials I've seen only use it for flat objects. Does it only work for these flat objects, or could I make it work for something with lots of edges and detail (not nerf related)? .
I know I’m really late but the reason hydro dipping is so good is because it wraps around a 3D object
i'm trying to put some stuff like this on a controller- how does the finisher sealant feel? if it's sticky or whatever it'd kinda ruin a controller.
how long do you let it sit when you spray the activator till you dip
i just told my little cousin about how that was a stryfe and how you painted it and he said "oh that beard guy?" i almost died!!!
Poisoned darts 😂😂😂 that’s hilarious
Watched this vid years ago man it brings back memories
OMG THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS FOR MY SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT
I think that thread banger needs to see this
Question. What did you spray before you dip the subject into the film?
Thanks in advance bro
Activator, link's in the discription
thank you for the video but what's the spray u used on the film ? can I have the name of that?
would it be less likely to bubble up if u also sprayed the activator evenly on the part before u dip?
nice thx for the knowledge =3
The blue one is so bad asss!!!!!!!
Hi Drac what hydrographic film did you use for the senguin 😅
When did you add the oil to the water and how much? Also what were you spraying onto the film when it was sitting in the water
Can you tell us few more details? How long between dipping and clearcoat
I'm having issues. I'm using enamel. Let dry ten min between coats. Then dip. Rinse and let air dry. But I've only had succes using aerosol 2k clear if I leave part over night before clear.
What your process? How long between each stage for you?
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.
a way to keep your temps right could be a heat mate. look up vivosun reptile heat mate you can get one with a thermostat to set the temp and heat the water from 70 to 100+
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.
Techoblade?? Also amazing video thanks needed help hydro dipping
When doing an inside job like a RC truck body the "water side" would have to be up. does this make a difference?
you are a saint drac my modded longshot will be so easier to do now
the vesper was my favorite! this is an awesome tutorial.
Drac, if someone commissioned you do hydro dip a rival khaos, do you think you could do that?
you think that you could do this to fishing rods and the side plates of fishing reels? you think it would last with salt water?
Yeah, you'll be fine. The same process is used for rims on vehicles and such.
thank you. where do you get your film?
Are the red trigger/door/barrel on the Sanguine custom made or painted?
nice video, thank you. I wanna dip my Sinden light guns
Vesper is amazing. I think I'm going to try and make something very similar
Bo3??
Iceyim Iceyim boi
+LordDraclonial Are you going to be selling any stryfes or modded/integrated blasters like this? I REALLY like them.
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?
where can you buy all of the stuff to do this? besides online
How well does it hold up against "abuse" ? I want to do the plastic piece around the seatbelt area in my car, could it take the the abuse of the seatbelt hitting up against it?
I'm not really into nerf guns, but I ordered my first hydrografic film kit. I'm going to dip electronic cigarettes. Thanks to you I got confidence in doing it now. Thanks for this video you explained everything really great. One question where is the best place to get the film? I got mine from ebay but there wasn't alot of options.
Thanks for the idea lol. I’ve been doing video game controllers with big success. Not a bad idea
i really like the green gun/ its film!
wat did i miss the how to really u gave 1 tip at the beginning about wetting ur fingers what undercoat paint did u use what primer did u use so many unanswered questions
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 ?
thanks this helped alot
do you wet sand and polish the clear coat when done?
What was the pattern you used for Vorpal called? I am interested in getting some of the same film to use on my nerf guns, but am having a hard time finding it among the 5,000 or so films on eBay.
