New at this your videos are the best! Thanks Elwood's Custom's
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the videos. You have me trying some small items to dip and it’s harder than it looks but I enjoy it.
Thats great! I hope you are enjoying this fun industry!
That carbon fiber comes out so damn sweet!
Thanks!
I’ll be sending you some trim parts from my G37 man. I love your vids
Sounds great! We can get you fixed up!
great work I'll be sending you my mustang stuff for sure..
Sounds great! Cant wait!
That was an amazing technique I was surprised
Thank you!
I would be curious to know the cost of exactly what you have shown, I am about to have the same exact parts done once I find someone near me. You did that shifter bezel 100% the way I was thinking to have it done. Looks great!! I have been binge watching your vids the past couple of days lol.
Email us a picture of the parts you would like done, we will get you a price. Don't forget to let us know the pattern you are interested in. info@liquidconcepts.com Thank you for watching
They have water temperature before start the item ? Or normal water only? Thanks..
How do you dip without a large pool and dividers like you have? I've seen some people do it in plastic bins... what do you suggest for DIY dippers that have no pool and dividers like yours?! Thanks in advance!!!
Hey, while dipping pieces with contours we observe pinholes at few places? Would it be due to under activation?
I'm about to dip these same exact parts, was it hard to get the shifter bezel and the radio bezel carbon weave angle going the same direction? If it possible to hot glue a bracket on the back of the parts and dip them together using the same technique?
What is the pressure on your gun? How far are you holding the gun above the water, 6-8 inches?
Normally we are around 8-10 PSI and around 6-8 inches from the water. Here is a video to help you a bit - ua-cam.com/video/Em9bspoRjZg/v-deo.html
how can i avail a 1 mtr x 1 mtr carbon film ?
hey Bryan, How do i make the black carbon fiber because i bought the black film and when i dipped it you can hardly see the carbon fiber?is there a paint you recommend to you? Also, whats a good time to wait before rinsing the part cause every time i rinse it seem like the film is getting lighter. Thank you
What paint base did you use on the film when you dipped it?
For the paint, we recommend this color for the black and clear carbon fiber - www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-detail/charcoal-metallic
After you dip the part, you can rinse immediately or even a few hours after dipping. The film may get a tad lighter but normally when the clear coat is applied, you will get the color and depth of the pattern to come back.
What spray did u use before printing the flim into those part?
This is a hydrographic activator to activate the film.
What kind of clear coat should use? Can you tell me Please. Acrylic? Or? Thanks
Here is the link to the clear that we spray everyday here at the shop - www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/paint/clears
@@LiquidConceptsUSA if i buy of The paintshop 2k clear coat îs ok? I don't want to damage The model.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA What should I ask for at the paint shop. Clear coat based on? If you dont mind. Thanks
Hydro dip something square is it a two-part process or can you do it in one dip? Been trying to find a video on it but cannot.
Yes normally it would be a half and half dip to cover all of the square.
Liquid Concepts, LLC thank you I’ve went and did i it in two parts thank you very much for the speedy response.
What's the. Cause of when I dip it looks good but when I got to rinse it little pin holes appear and or bigger chips of the film wash away? Under activating or overactivating?
Normally its under activated but sometimes it may be from the paint not being compatible with the dip or not ready for the dip.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA thankyou in your experience im unclear about paint compatibility? Like dupli color or rustoleum and or anything or is there a specific paint I should be using to eliminate this risk? Also I am using the LC activator but aerosol firm because I dont know how big of compressor I can get away with
I am not saying you cant use spray paint but we have seen quite a bit of customers have very inconsistent results from it. I would recommend using an automotive base coat/clear coat or even some of the paints that we have on our website to help you get better consistency with your process.
Do y’all make/design custom film or do y’all just print the custom film?
We actually do both. We have a design team that can help make the film for you as well as getting it printed and ready to go.
Liquid Concepts, LLC Ok thank you.
Thanks for these vids, you make this look easy! I’ve been experimenting with this stuff and I love it. I’ve had good success But I tried a dip a few days ago and after spraying the activator using all the same time parameters when I went to dip the film was still just film. So I sprayed again and still just stayed film. Did I have the film upside down or what?
It could be that you had the film upside down on the water but it could also be that you may have water in your air lines. Have you checked your lines lately?
Liquid Concepts, LLC thanks for the reply, I’m just doing small stuff currently with an aerosol can not a paint sprayer.
I would definitely check out making sure that you are activating the film correctly with the aerosol can as you can sometimes get streaks that can cause part of the print to stick and not others. Also make sure the sticky side of the film is DOWN on the water. 100% every time.
Liquid Concepts, LLC Thanks for the tips. You make hydro graphics look way easier than it is btw.
how do i remove my water transfer if it went wrong gr Mr Han
Most of the time you can just scuff it and then paint right over it but we actually just did a video on that! Click the link here to watch it - ua-cam.com/video/JnscGMvV4Jg/v-deo.html
Will it stick to polyurethane
Yes if its properly prepared and base coated with the correct paints.
If you want to have red carbon fibre do you need to paint the item red 1st
You can paint it red and use a black and clear carbon or if you want it red candy you can lay down a silver metallic base, dip it in carbon, and then apply a red candy over the top! This is our go to method that our customers love the most.
I doing a instrument besil off a 71 camaro do suggest back tapeing holes
You can certainly tape up the holes to help prevent the stretch.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA thanks for
the advised worked put great
@@johnnyfuhlhage9776 Not a problem!
Quick question. Sometimes after rinsing my dips I have small bubbles under the film. Is it best to press those out, or let it dry on its own?
You can press them out but actually it's under activated if your getting small dots like that all the time.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA, Does that mean to add more activator or let the activator sit longer before dipping the object? I'm having the same issue. Thanks!
how long do you have to wait before doing clear coat?
Once the item is fully dried you can begin clear coating
👍👍👍👍👍
