Hydrodipping practice on a couple of my co-worker’s hard hats. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a learning experience and getting my feet wet of actually doing it on an rc body. A couple things I’ve learned:
1. The size of the sink with adjustable divider, or container is very important. For example, If you’re hydrodipping film is 12x12, the container needs to be a little bigger. If it’s too big, it gives the film room to stretch after you apply the activator

2. Water temp is also important @80-90 deg f or 26.67-32.2 deg c

Nice work haric! Just one issue I ran into that I wasn't a fan of was most hydro dips were ment to go over an object and an rc body was ment to be painted from the inside. So the graphic would be on the outside of the body and it would get scuffed from rolls.. unless you can find someone that can reverse the image facing up in the water thats the only way I've seen it done :cautious:
