This effect gives me so many possible ideas about what I can do when I begin to repaint my '94 Super V 2000. Over then past years I've grown bored with the plain jane black and silver of the factory style paint I did on the bare frame. Can't wait for the next video to see what ideas it sparks .!!

I really hope i get this down one day! This method doesn't work for me, but if i add some dish soap it does. Maybe it's a bad wettner agent batch. Im 4 tries in, it hasn't been easy. I'm not getting deep crystals. Temperature really, really, really matters and it gets lost in the juxtaposition topics of the school portion. Sanding the helmet before adding the solution really, really, really matters.

@user-xf1yz9kg5c Жыл бұрын

@@nowyourefinished6481 i found a fix. Use hot water in a pan or bowl to heat the mixture within a container. Also use dish soap instead. What i did was i made the liquid saturated, filtered the extra ereum and added a little extra destilled water to the mixture. Make sure not to use it in a cold environment since the saturation is also based on the temperature. What i experienced is that it didn’t crystallize at too cold conditions. It just became one big mess. 20 degrees c with a window open gave me great results. Let me know if you need help

@user-eu2tg8rl8z 6 ай бұрын

У меня тоже кристаллы получаются короткие. При уменьшении концетрации мочевины крилсталы становятся длиннее. Так же большое влияние на форму кристаллов оказывает окружающия среда. Необходима влажность и температура. И возможно ультофиолет (еще не пробовал). С кристалломи мучаюсь давно . Уже заканчивается второй килограмм мочевины, а пробники для опытов у меня по 25 граммов. Еще важно как вы наносите раствор на деталь. Мартин не хочет выдавать все секреты, его право, поэтому приходиться мучаться. Всем удачи.
