I do acrylic pouring and haven't tried this yet .my only question is why so much paint when only using a smal space of paint. And can you dip more than one item at a time.
@ItsBradCrawford Жыл бұрын
You can guage how much paint you use, but I just coat the surface until it looks right on each ring layer. You probably won't be able to get more than one item dipped because you have to move the paint out of the way before bringing the item you dipped back out of the water. Enjoy!

What’s the dry time?
@ItsBradCrawford Жыл бұрын
Dry time can vary, based on outside temps and the size of object you're dipping. For this one (which is all I can really go by) it was dried to a "tacky"-touch within a couple of hours. I left it hanging overnight though, and by the next day it was completely dry. I actually did two of them back to back and both of them finished drying around the same time. Hope that helps!

My paint keeps wadding up on the stick. What am I doing wrong.
@ItsBradCrawford Жыл бұрын
It's hard to say for sure without watching you do it. What size stick are you using? You may want to use an unbent hanger, or something else thin...like my broken fishing rod. How fast are you stirring? You have to get in, stir your pattern, and get out as quick as you can. The slower you go, the more the paint will try to stick to whatever you use to stir with. Finally, what paint are you using? You need to make sure it is an acrylic-based paint. I use Rustoleum 2x paint & primer in different colors. Hope this helps...good luck!

Hi great video! I'm wondering about the paint as well. I was trying to use the krylon 2x but when I would spray into the water it would not spray like yours, it would be really thin circles not a big cloud of spray paint. is there a reason for that?
@ItsBradCrawford2 жыл бұрын
It could be that your water temp was too cold. I found that same problem when I had the colder water. Once I found that the water was more around 50-60 degrees, it seemed to do better. Another possibility is that you may be spraying too close to the surface of the water, as this too will cause the same issue. Try spraying around 6-8 inches from the water's surface and see if that allows the paint to sit on the surface better. Hope that helps...and good luck!

When I did this video, the most important aspect of my discussion failed to mention any actual temperature, as I got more involved in talking about the process of dipping the deer head instead of mentioning an actual temperature. At the time this video was created, I did not have a digital thermometer or any way of measuring the actual temp of the water. I realize there are comments concerning this, which is why I've placed this note in the video description. I do apologize, since all I can provide is a generalized temp range of 50-60 degrees, which would've been the average temp at the time of year this video was created.

What brand paint is best?
@ItsBradCrawford4 жыл бұрын
Best? I can't say for sure which is actually "best", but what I can say is that I've tried both Krylon and Rustoleum, and in my experiences with these two brands, Rustoleum won out. I like the way it spreads evenly across whatever project substrate I'm working with, and it seems to stay on much better than Krylon. With that said, I don't have experiences with any other brands, so I can't say that this is a "hands-down", 100%, only brand I'd use scenario...it's just the one that worked for this particular project. I hope that answers your question.

I'll tell you a similar thing I told FishFear Me32: It's hard to say without seeing your process. Did you properly prep (sand &/or prime) the item being dipped? What brand of spray paint are you using to prime? Are you using the same brand for the paint used on the surface? Are you spraying too close to the water's surface? Are you allowing the paint to sit on the water's surface too long? Are you dipping the item you're using into the water too quickly? What's your process for drying the item you've dipped? These are all possible factors to consider for any part of the process where there are issues. Since this seems to be a common issue, I may try to focus on that in the next video I do.

I know this video is a little older but I've been surfing around for a while looking at videos like these and I love them. I've been doing some dipping myself as far as travel mugs and bottle openers! As much as the temperature of the water helps, I think the distance of your spray helps a lot as well. When you spray close the paint gets trapped slightly under the surface, so it doesn't have time to dry and clump up by the time it hits the surface of the water, as with you spray style. Not knocking your technique or anything but just wanted to share my experiences and knowledge since you were kind enough to offer yours in this video! Keep up the great work man!👍👍👍👍👍

Hey birdman1775, I appreciate your comment & compliment! I agree that distance from the water's surface can affect the way the paint places itself on whatever substrate is being used. From my sample trials prior to this video, the water temp still effected the paint in such a way that there was no positive outcome, which is why I chose to talk about it on here.

@ItsBradCrawford5 жыл бұрын
I haven't tried to pour the paint on top of the water after spraying out of the can into a container before, but first, guess would say that it would break the surface tension of the water too quickly and just ball up as well. I'll look into it with the next attempts coming up in a few weeks (once the weather here in Texas starts to act like actual spring instead of winter with an attitude!) As far as the paint setting up quickly and balling up on the swirling stick...I was experiencing this as well, which is why you have to be ready to dip as soon as you finish laying out the pattern. Even in this video, the paint stuck to my swirling stick. As a matter of fact, it created a small gap where there was no paint transfer on the bottom of the skull. This is another reason you have to prime with whatever base color you wish to be seen because this can happen. Thanks for your comments, and keep watching, as I hope to have new videos posted showing more hydro-dips in the coming weeks!

Eric, when I first tried to do this, it was still winter conditions, so I warmed my water to around 98-100 degrees. It was a total failure, as none of the paint would float on the surface. All it would do is clump up and fall below the surface. With that said, I used water straight out of the tap around the time that this video was posted (I believe around March-April timeframe) and found success. Unfortunately, I didn't gauge my water temp, so I don't know exactly what it was. I've acquired a number of other deer heads and will be posting new videos in the near future...so keep an eye out for my new attempts. Thanks for your comment!
