This was randomly recommended to me. I have no interest in hydrodipping nor did I know a dang thing about it. Have? Had? This video had me riveted as well as amused. Dang it I don't need another hobby but man do I want to hydrodip everything in sight now 🤣
LOL, that is how I started too. When I saw it I was like oooohhhhhh wow. I want to dip my car, this lamp, a frisbee, my neighbors dog, lets hydro dip everything!!!
I've been watching hydro dip/ hydrographics videos and I just recently found your channel. So far, the best channel I've seen. Your detailed explanations are very clear and you do a great job getting the info across. Im definitely looking at getting into hydrographics and appreciate the time and effort you put into yours videos and sharing your knowledge. Thank you, sir!!!
I know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Oliver Davis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have never done hydro dipping before, and my class at Sonoran Desert Institute is having me do it, so this is VERY informative. Thank you for posting this video. I'll be sure to use these tips and tricks, and cite this video in my video submission for school. ❤
Been doing hydrographics for about four years as a business and we do training as well..I tell people all the time not to tape all four sides..glad you did the video..great explanation for people who don’t get it..also friends with Jason and Kerry..great people
Hey Roy! Glad you are also beating into peoples heads not to tape on all 4 sides! Jason and Kerry are good folks, glad to have them so close to me in Georgia. Hope you are doing well brother, keep pumping out those awesome bikes my man!
I saw your video about people that tend to tape the sides. I can see why it’s best not to do it for sure however there seems to be a lot of people that get away with it...
@@thundertiger76 I never tape four sides.. when I first started I did and learned quickly that it was a bad idea.. film needs to expand and tape will not let it expand.. I do occasionally tape two sides especially with custom film because it is so thin and rolls up like crazy..but that also caused wrinkles where it’s taped but I use a bigger piece of film to allow for that.. I do try not to use tape at all though if I can get away with it... I like your idea about cutting the edges and I’m gonna try that on custom film next time I do some and see if that helps... it’s kinda like that kryptek film... keep those videos coming... we can always learn more...
I was always wondering why my ones came out better without taping the sides. I thought i was doing something wrong because every video i watched, people would tape down the sides, but i stopped doing that because it worked better without it. This video was very helpful, thankyou.
That's exactly why I made the video, because there is so much bad info on the interwebs I just want to help people do the right things and have it help them make dipping easier.
Bro, thank you for the tips. I’m about to start doing graphics. Spray paint since I’ve heard about it (six months ago). Needing as much guidance as there is to give. Using one of those 250 gallon totes with the cages around them. So the boat shout out was what I needed. Also thank you for doing the bloopers addition. I believe it makes you more professionally personable, virtually. I’m hoping there will be more videos to learn from.
LMAO.... range throwing and punching walls is pretty normal in hydro dipping. It is like a right of passage to throw at least one project in the yard and stomp on it before you really get the hang od things lol
once I spray the activator all the tiny wrinkles go away.. we gottttta use tape if we're dipping in a bin ect and don't have adjustable stops fricken great tip with the pvc pipe method
Finally!!! You showed what I was doing wrong lol. But seriously bro thanks!!! Because of your videos I’ve been dipping better. Stay warm out there and be safe

Reason 1 and 3 are the same lol. As someone that understands physics, you can absolutely make the hydrofilm flat with tape, unless your a dizzy 5 year old. Reason 2 makes perfect sense and doesn't need 1 and 3 to sell me on the idea. Still best video I've seen on the topic 👍
I just started a job where they are training me to hydro dip. I’m nervous I wanna do my best your videos are very informative what other advice can you give me ??
Sir did you replace your water after every dip? or what's your strategy to clean the extra film on the water on the first dip before going to 2nd dip? thank you
Three years later and this shows up in my recommended. I'm actually surprised people though taping at all would work. Water does what it wants to what's put in it. Not very many things can counter that. Trick is to get it to work for you. But I did learn one thing. The side that sticks to your finger is the side that gets set down on the water.
now im a fan..thanks a lot sir..i started my first hydrodip video on my UA-cam w/out knowing that taping the film is a bad thing..🤣 but I made it as one of my Top Viewed videos on my YT thanks for this tips and tricks,I am currently working on my 2nd hydrodip video then ur tips Pop Up..👍👍 u saved my Ass dude..i enjoyed watching it all the way..😇😇

Cutting the slits was a BBG tip back in the day.... Good video, glad to see people sharing more information on the process now....
hi good day I am a newbie in hydro dipping. can you please make a video how to create a film for hydro dipping and also, what are those materials that are you using. thank you
The 4 sides thing really depends on the film. I have some that love to spread and stretch over the whole water surface when not taped up properly. Maybe they are just bad films I don't know but when taped on all 4 sides they work great so can't really complain.
I'm glad I found your channel before I started. I had tape on all four sides right before I saw your video. I've watched several of your other videos and you have been a huge help. That k you for taking the time to make these. Could you do a quick video/tutorial on dipping motorcycle wheels/rims, please?
The reason some roll up more than others is due to how tight they are rolled up for storage. Your mable is in a very large roll and your cryptech is so tightly rolled. The material will eventually get used to being in that state. Ive fixed this issue by flattening out the sheet i want to dip with and letting it set flat for about 30-40 mins before hitting the water.
That's great sir..! If may i ask sir after putting the film in the water what's next sir? Do we nid to spray a activator or what? I don't know sir.. tanx anyway.. godbless you....
I wish I would have seen your video sooner when I tried hydro dip on a rc body for the first time. I guess I made a lot of mistakes. Great vid and thanks for sharing.
Keep practicing Chris, it is one of those hobbies that unfortunately can be frustrating but keep at it and you will get it. I failed hundreds of times before getting the hang of it.
@@chriscrashrc2982 No problem, good luck and remember it is perfectly acceptable to have bad dips, throw stuff, cuss a lot, and then practice more later on. LOL Sad but true, I still do it from time to time.
@@chriscrashrc2982 hey man how did you get the dip to stick to the body? I’m fixing to do the panels to a dbxl. Sadly the panels come preprinted so I’m having to dip the outside of the panels instead of the inside. Since the panels are lexan I sprayed them with bonding primer.

Thoroughly enjoyed your on-camera style and the knowledge shared! I've never hydro dipped in my life and was mainly searching for more on this subject after watching the Donut guys give it a try. What's funny is that they were told, and OHW apparently preaches, taping all four sides. The OHW tutorial did show them being able to get all of the wrinkles out; but am thinking starting with this no-tape method makes the most sense... plus it eliminates extra steps and materials. Win-win!
Make sure you take out all the electronics because you don't want those getting wet. WE have a whole video all about how to prep parts for painting and hydro dipping if you want to check that out it will answer every question you could ever have about prep.
Which side goes up on the water? Using the wet finger method to determine the sides of the dip - you say to put the sticky side down on the water. I believe you but can you explain why? This is the side that, when you dip, will be on the outside of the object. It logically seems like you should put the sticky side up so it sticks to the object you are dipping. Again, I believe you but can you explain why it’s not sticky (I’m assuming it’s not) after you dip the object?
There is 2 sides to the film. One side dissolves in water, the other side needs activator to dissolve. The reason I wet my finger and figure out which side becomes sticky is I want to figure out which side dissolves in water. So the wet finger makes the film sticky because it is partially dissolved. That side goes down in the water.
Just came across your channel, I’m starting very soon to try some hydro dipping. Great video, very informative and easy to follow. Love the outtakes 😆 Subscribed and will be learning a lot from you
This is absolutely stunning and finally I found something genuine regarding hydrographics. Can you please make a video of converting a digital picture to a hydrographic film, simply how can we transform a photo into a printed film?
Great video indeed. Have you an idea on the thickness of the PVA. Do you know suppliers offering films with variable thicknesses, say from 50 to 200 microns? Thanks.
I need to do full face helmets and have never hydro dipped, do you have a recommendation of something to practice on? Im assuming rounded things are more difficult. As well Im having a hard time finding film that is wider than .5m. My helmet is 22 inches or 56 cm around the narrowest part. Im also in Canada and OHW only ships to the US
As a 4 side tape dipper, this was one very informative video. I just saved a ton of tape and money.
Glad i could help

Thanks for the sub boom, glad to have you. Many more videos on the way
@@AllThingsFunHydrographics I will stay tuned 👍🏼
I live in Georgia & would love to see your shop.
Come on by!
Proper hydro dipping vs vinyl for interior car trim. Which is better?
Which spraygun is better also fluid need size like 1.2mm or 1.8mm
I use 1.4 for paint guns, and 1.8 for activator guns
Very informative, videos like this reiterating why you're the best!
Thanks Samuel, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video. Where do you buy your films?

Just did my first dip last night and didn't use tape. Worked great.
Awesome, glad the video helped you.
@@AllThingsFunHydrographics I did white digital camo on my 10/22 charger stock. It looks awesome
I learned a lot, thanks bro!!
This is absolutely stunning and finally I found something genuine regarding hydrographics. Can you please make a video of converting a digital picture to a hydrographic film, simply how can we transform a photo into a printed film?
I do not make custom film or print film. Liquid Concepts is the only place I know that does that right now.
Just checking this out. Like I have time for another hobby. But this is really interesting.
Welcome aboard! It is a fun hobby
How hot must the water be? And do you need to use primer or something?
Great video indeed. Have you an idea on the thickness of the PVA. Do you know suppliers offering films with variable thicknesses, say from 50 to 200 microns? Thanks.
I have no clue, I have never made films I only buy what the suppliers have in stock.
Can you dip right over a cerakote finish ? If dipping stainless steel does it need to be primed or can you dip right over the stainless ??
I need to do full face helmets and have never hydro dipped, do you have a recommendation of something to practice on? Im assuming rounded things are more difficult. As well Im having a hard time finding film that is wider than .5m. My helmet is 22 inches or 56 cm around the narrowest part. Im also in Canada and OHW only ships to the US
i been wanting to hydro dip my controller. this looks really cool,where can i get these films?
I have a video on the channel all about where to buy products. We do not sell anything.
Wonderful stuff; much thanks for sharing!
Thank you for checking out the video. Glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve done the taping method but cut out the corners and had no issues !
Congrats. Just showing a way to do it without having to waste time and money on tape. But to each his own.
