hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the workshop today we’re going to try our
workshop today we’re going to try our
workshop today we’re going to try our hand at something called hydro dipping
hand at something called hydro dipping
hand at something called hydro dipping Hydra dipping is a process by which a
Hydra dipping is a process by which a
Hydra dipping is a process by which a tint is sprayed onto the surface of a
tint is sprayed onto the surface of a
tint is sprayed onto the surface of a fluid usually water and then the object
fluid usually water and then the object
fluid usually water and then the object that you’re trying to paint is passed
that you’re trying to paint is passed
that you’re trying to paint is passed through it all the paint or ink gets
through it all the paint or ink gets
through it all the paint or ink gets applied evenly to the surface of
applied evenly to the surface of
applied evenly to the surface of whatever it is you’re painting even if
whatever it is you’re painting even if
whatever it is you’re painting even if it has an uneven texture or a little
it has an uneven texture or a little
it has an uneven texture or a little bits of ins-and-outs to it we’re going
bits of ins-and-outs to it we’re going
bits of ins-and-outs to it we’re going to see if we can replicate the effects
to see if we can replicate the effects
to see if we can replicate the effects of Hydra dipping by using spray paint
of Hydra dipping by using spray paint
of Hydra dipping by using spray paint and a large bucket which will fill up
and a large bucket which will fill up
and a large bucket which will fill up with water to start off I’ve got this
with water to start off I’ve got this
with water to start off I’ve got this little squirt gun and we’re gonna see if
little squirt gun and we’re gonna see if
little squirt gun and we’re gonna see if we can change the colors of it to
we can change the colors of it to
we can change the colors of it to something entirely different if there
something entirely different if there
something entirely different if there are any parts that we don’t want to
are any parts that we don’t want to
are any parts that we don’t want to change the color of we do want to mask
change the color of we do want to mask
change the color of we do want to mask those off using some tape on this gun I
those off using some tape on this gun I
those off using some tape on this gun I think I’ll mask off the trigger and just
think I’ll mask off the trigger and just
think I’ll mask off the trigger and just the opening where the water squirts out
the opening where the water squirts out
the opening where the water squirts out our gun is now taped off in the spots we
our gun is now taped off in the spots we
our gun is now taped off in the spots we want it to be but before we start
want it to be but before we start
want it to be but before we start dipping into spray paint in the water
dipping into spray paint in the water
dipping into spray paint in the water I’m gonna hit it with a layer of primer
I’m gonna hit it with a layer of primer
I’m gonna hit it with a layer of primer to really help make sure that all of our
to really help make sure that all of our
to really help make sure that all of our colored spray paint is going to stick to
colored spray paint is going to stick to
colored spray paint is going to stick to it well
[Music]
[Music] all right the layer of primer on our
all right the layer of primer on our
all right the layer of primer on our little plastic squirt gun has now dried
little plastic squirt gun has now dried
little plastic squirt gun has now dried so I think we’re ready to try dipping it
so I think we’re ready to try dipping it
so I think we’re ready to try dipping it into the water after we add some paint
into the water after we add some paint
into the water after we add some paint so I think the first thing we have to do
so I think the first thing we have to do
so I think the first thing we have to do is choose a good color scheme for this
is choose a good color scheme for this
is choose a good color scheme for this gun we’re gonna try using red and yellow
gun we’re gonna try using red and yellow
gun we’re gonna try using red and yellow and the general idea of how to do this
and the general idea of how to do this
and the general idea of how to do this is to spray one color in and then spray
is to spray one color in and then spray
is to spray one color in and then spray the other color down inside the sort of
the other color down inside the sort of
the other color down inside the sort of circle that we’ll have formed in the
circle that we’ll have formed in the
circle that we’ll have formed in the water if you want the effect to have a
water if you want the effect to have a
water if you want the effect to have a lot more layers and lines in it you can
lot more layers and lines in it you can
lot more layers and lines in it you can switch back and forth several times
switch back and forth several times
switch back and forth several times alright here goes
[Music]
[Music] valour is pretty good the paint will now
valour is pretty good the paint will now
valour is pretty good the paint will now coalesce a little bit more into the
coalesce a little bit more into the
coalesce a little bit more into the center I’m gonna just try and dip it
center I’m gonna just try and dip it
center I’m gonna just try and dip it right into this area with all of the
right into this area with all of the
right into this area with all of the stripes let’s see how this goes
stripes let’s see how this goes
stripes let’s see how this goes [Music]
[Music]
[Music] keeping gun pushed slowly down through
keeping gun pushed slowly down through
keeping gun pushed slowly down through the paint and now that it’s all the way
the paint and now that it’s all the way
the paint and now that it’s all the way under the water I’m gonna swirl away all
under the water I’m gonna swirl away all
under the water I’m gonna swirl away all of the extra paint on the surface so
of the extra paint on the surface so
of the extra paint on the surface so that as I pull it out it’s not gonna
that as I pull it out it’s not gonna
that as I pull it out it’s not gonna pick up more paint as that would ruin
pick up more paint as that would ruin
pick up more paint as that would ruin our finish there we go now this is a
our finish there we go now this is a
our finish there we go now this is a squirt gun so it filled up with water
squirt gun so it filled up with water
squirt gun so it filled up with water it’s got a lot of hollow spaces in it
it’s got a lot of hollow spaces in it
it’s got a lot of hollow spaces in it likes to leak out the handle looks like
likes to leak out the handle looks like
likes to leak out the handle looks like but it’s pretty cool look at that it’s
but it’s pretty cool look at that it’s
but it’s pretty cool look at that it’s like a marbled red and yellow
like a marbled red and yellow
like a marbled red and yellow it does have some spots that look pink
it does have some spots that look pink
it does have some spots that look pink because I’m using such a large container
because I’m using such a large container
because I’m using such a large container the paint does like to sort of spread
the paint does like to sort of spread
the paint does like to sort of spread out to the edges and with the amount
out to the edges and with the amount
out to the edges and with the amount that I used it wasn’t very densely
that I used it wasn’t very densely
that I used it wasn’t very densely packed together so the parts that look
packed together so the parts that look
packed together so the parts that look pink are where it was red but sort of a
pink are where it was red but sort of a
pink are where it was red but sort of a spread out weaker red overall I think
spread out weaker red overall I think
spread out weaker red overall I think that turned out really nicely
that turned out really nicely
that turned out really nicely very cool marbling I wear gloves pretty
very cool marbling I wear gloves pretty
very cool marbling I wear gloves pretty much all of the time on this show but
much all of the time on this show but
much all of the time on this show but this is one where I definitely recommend
this is one where I definitely recommend
this is one where I definitely recommend that anyone trying it wears gloves
that anyone trying it wears gloves
that anyone trying it wears gloves because this stuff will get all over
because this stuff will get all over
because this stuff will get all over your hands as you’re dipping stuff down
your hands as you’re dipping stuff down
your hands as you’re dipping stuff down into the paint
into the paint
into the paint normally spray paint will dry in as
normally spray paint will dry in as
normally spray paint will dry in as little as 15 minutes but this stuff
little as 15 minutes but this stuff
little as 15 minutes but this stuff having been in the water can even have
having been in the water can even have
having been in the water can even have little bits of water trapped underneath
little bits of water trapped underneath
little bits of water trapped underneath the paint and so to really let this dry
the paint and so to really let this dry
the paint and so to really let this dry off all the way what we really want to
off all the way what we really want to
off all the way what we really want to do is give it up to 24 hours in a
do is give it up to 24 hours in a
do is give it up to 24 hours in a room-temperature area to completely dry
room-temperature area to completely dry
room-temperature area to completely dry off and then we want to hit it with a
off and then we want to hit it with a
off and then we want to hit it with a clear coat to make sure that the paint
clear coat to make sure that the paint
clear coat to make sure that the paint isn’t gonna chip and wear off too
isn’t gonna chip and wear off too
isn’t gonna chip and wear off too quickly after dipping our squirt gun
quickly after dipping our squirt gun
quickly after dipping our squirt gun there’s still quite a bit of paint left
there’s still quite a bit of paint left
there’s still quite a bit of paint left on the surface of our water but we don’t
on the surface of our water but we don’t
on the surface of our water but we don’t have to pour it out and fill a new
have to pour it out and fill a new
have to pour it out and fill a new bucket pool we can clean the paint off
bucket pool we can clean the paint off
bucket pool we can clean the paint off the surface of the water pretty easily
the surface of the water pretty easily
the surface of the water pretty easily just using some paper towels you can see
just using some paper towels you can see
just using some paper towels you can see that at this point the paint is sort of
that at this point the paint is sort of
that at this point the paint is sort of a plasticy film and it doesn’t stick to
a plasticy film and it doesn’t stick to
a plasticy film and it doesn’t stick to things as well in this state which is
things as well in this state which is
things as well in this state which is why we want to spray and then have
why we want to spray and then have
why we want to spray and then have everything prepped so we can just dip it
everything prepped so we can just dip it
everything prepped so we can just dip it in immediately because it won’t grip as
in immediately because it won’t grip as
in immediately because it won’t grip as well if the paint isn’t as new
well if the paint isn’t as new
well if the paint isn’t as new I’ve got another little squirt gun that
I’ve got another little squirt gun that
I’ve got another little squirt gun that if primer it up let’s choose a couple
if primer it up let’s choose a couple
if primer it up let’s choose a couple other colors and try painting this one
other colors and try painting this one
other colors and try painting this one this time we’re gonna try purple and
this time we’re gonna try purple and
this time we’re gonna try purple and pink see how that gun turns out is
pink see how that gun turns out is
pink see how that gun turns out is interesting our pink is responding a
interesting our pink is responding a
interesting our pink is responding a little bit differently than other paints
little bit differently than other paints
little bit differently than other paints have but we’ll see how this goes on
[Music]
[Music] hmm that pink color went on really oddly
hmm that pink color went on really oddly
hmm that pink color went on really oddly it sort of formed into that plastic
it sort of formed into that plastic
it sort of formed into that plastic sheet that I was explaining about
sheet that I was explaining about
sheet that I was explaining about immediately as soon as it hit the water
immediately as soon as it hit the water
immediately as soon as it hit the water the purple did a really good job so I
the purple did a really good job so I
the purple did a really good job so I like how that turned out but the pink
like how that turned out but the pink
like how that turned out but the pink you can see like this is just thin
you can see like this is just thin
you can see like this is just thin sheets of plastic and it didn’t like to
sheets of plastic and it didn’t like to
sheets of plastic and it didn’t like to spread it all so it didn’t stretch going
spread it all so it didn’t stretch going
spread it all so it didn’t stretch going over the contours of the gun it’s not a
over the contours of the gun it’s not a
over the contours of the gun it’s not a terribly ruined effect but it doesn’t
terribly ruined effect but it doesn’t
terribly ruined effect but it doesn’t work as nicely as some colors so you may
work as nicely as some colors so you may
work as nicely as some colors so you may have to experiment with which colors are
have to experiment with which colors are
have to experiment with which colors are gonna work the best we’ve had one
gonna work the best we’ve had one
gonna work the best we’ve had one successful test with a squirt gun and
successful test with a squirt gun and
successful test with a squirt gun and one less than successful test with the
one less than successful test with the
one less than successful test with the squirt gun now we’re gonna move on to
squirt gun now we’re gonna move on to
squirt gun now we’re gonna move on to trying something else this is a phone
trying something else this is a phone
trying something else this is a phone case that I’ve taped off and painted
case that I’ve taped off and painted
case that I’ve taped off and painted with our white primer we’re gonna see if
with our white primer we’re gonna see if
with our white primer we’re gonna see if we can give this a nice swirled marble
we can give this a nice swirled marble
we can give this a nice swirled marble texture I’m gonna see if I can get three
texture I’m gonna see if I can get three
texture I’m gonna see if I can get three different colors to work all at once of
different colors to work all at once of
different colors to work all at once of this one alternating which one I spray a
this one alternating which one I spray a
this one alternating which one I spray a bit of an experiment
bit of an experiment
bit of an experiment [Music]
[Music]
[Music] ooh oh I’m liking the look of that quite
ooh oh I’m liking the look of that quite
ooh oh I’m liking the look of that quite a bit missing
a bit missing
a bit missing stringy bits but I think those are all
stringy bits but I think those are all
stringy bits but I think those are all attached to the tape not the case itself
attached to the tape not the case itself
attached to the tape not the case itself I can we’ve got some good swirl patterns
I can we’ve got some good swirl patterns
I can we’ve got some good swirl patterns going there is a neat case pattern that
going there is a neat case pattern that
going there is a neat case pattern that phone case works so well we’re gonna try
phone case works so well we’re gonna try
phone case works so well we’re gonna try one more I have another case here which
one more I have another case here which
one more I have another case here which has a little bit of a texture to it and
has a little bit of a texture to it and
has a little bit of a texture to it and I’m not sure how that’s gonna change how
I’m not sure how that’s gonna change how
I’m not sure how that’s gonna change how well the paint bonds to it but I have
well the paint bonds to it but I have
well the paint bonds to it but I have taped this off and hit it with our
taped this off and hit it with our
taped this off and hit it with our primer so let’s try a different pattern
primer so let’s try a different pattern
primer so let’s try a different pattern I’m gonna go for red and black on this
I’m gonna go for red and black on this
I’m gonna go for red and black on this one
[Music]
[Music] you
you
you hmmm a little bit of mixed results that
hmmm a little bit of mixed results that
hmmm a little bit of mixed results that this red really seems to like to spread
this red really seems to like to spread
this red really seems to like to spread out overall I like the look
out overall I like the look
out overall I like the look I like the switching between colors and
I like the switching between colors and
I like the switching between colors and it still kept most of the texture
it still kept most of the texture
it still kept most of the texture beneath our paint which is pretty cool
beneath our paint which is pretty cool
beneath our paint which is pretty cool however you can see that we’re getting
however you can see that we’re getting
however you can see that we’re getting sort of a Pinker look over here and I
sort of a Pinker look over here and I
sort of a Pinker look over here and I was hoping for a little bit more red but
was hoping for a little bit more red but
was hoping for a little bit more red but overall I think this is still a pretty
overall I think this is still a pretty
overall I think this is still a pretty sweet design I did want it to be all red
sweet design I did want it to be all red
sweet design I did want it to be all red but if it couldn’t be all red I at least
but if it couldn’t be all red I at least
but if it couldn’t be all red I at least liked that the thinner spot is almost
liked that the thinner spot is almost
liked that the thinner spot is almost centered around the camera hole so it
centered around the camera hole so it
centered around the camera hole so it looks like it’s all radiating out from
looks like it’s all radiating out from
looks like it’s all radiating out from that point one more thing that we’re
that point one more thing that we’re
that point one more thing that we’re gonna try grant wanted me to see if I
gonna try grant wanted me to see if I
gonna try grant wanted me to see if I could successfully use this hydrogen
could successfully use this hydrogen
could successfully use this hydrogen method on the slide of his Glock so
method on the slide of his Glock so
method on the slide of his Glock so we’re gonna try and give this a sort of
we’re gonna try and give this a sort of
we’re gonna try and give this a sort of snow camo look using black gray and
snow camo look using black gray and
snow camo look using black gray and white and we’ll see how it’s turned out
white and we’ll see how it’s turned out
white and we’ll see how it’s turned out I’ve tried to tape off every bit of the
I’ve tried to tape off every bit of the
I’ve tried to tape off every bit of the surface that I don’t want painted it’s
surface that I don’t want painted it’s
surface that I don’t want painted it’s still going to be a bit of an experiment
still going to be a bit of an experiment
still going to be a bit of an experiment hopefully it turns out well

all right there we go we had a bit of an
all right there we go we had a bit of an ordeal getting our paints to really work
ordeal getting our paints to really work
ordeal getting our paints to really work the gray was doing the same thing as the
the gray was doing the same thing as the
the gray was doing the same thing as the pink and that it would kept just turning
pink and that it would kept just turning
pink and that it would kept just turning into sort of a plastic film as soon as
into sort of a plastic film as soon as
into sort of a plastic film as soon as it hit the water I think the solution
it hit the water I think the solution
it hit the water I think the solution was actually just to keep shaking the
was actually just to keep shaking the
was actually just to keep shaking the whole can up a lot so the paint inside
whole can up a lot so the paint inside
whole can up a lot so the paint inside was much more evenly mixed that seemed
was much more evenly mixed that seemed
was much more evenly mixed that seemed to fix it with the gray I’m I wanted to
to fix it with the gray I’m I wanted to
to fix it with the gray I’m I wanted to do another test with the pink and see if
do another test with the pink and see if
do another test with the pink and see if it’s doing the same thing overall though
it’s doing the same thing overall though
it’s doing the same thing overall though I think we got a pretty cool swirled
I think we got a pretty cool swirled
I think we got a pretty cool swirled snow camo effect on this slide so we’ll
snow camo effect on this slide so we’ll
snow camo effect on this slide so we’ll let this dry and then we’ll attach it
let this dry and then we’ll attach it
let this dry and then we’ll attach it back to the gun and see how it all looks
back to the gun and see how it all looks
back to the gun and see how it all looks there we go the pieces that we hydro
there we go the pieces that we hydro
there we go the pieces that we hydro dipped have now had plenty of time to
dipped have now had plenty of time to
dipped have now had plenty of time to dry out and completely cure so now we’re
dry out and completely cure so now we’re
dry out and completely cure so now we’re gonna do is hit them with a layer of
gonna do is hit them with a layer of
gonna do is hit them with a layer of clear coat and hopefully that will make
clear coat and hopefully that will make
clear coat and hopefully that will make it so that they’re safe to handle and we
it so that they’re safe to handle and we
it so that they’re safe to handle and we won’t have any paint chipping you’re
won’t have any paint chipping you’re
won’t have any paint chipping you’re coming off
coming off
coming off [Music]
[Music]
[Music] they have an at-home method of Hydra
they have an at-home method of Hydra
they have an at-home method of Hydra dipping using spray paint and water we
dipping using spray paint and water we
dipping using spray paint and water we don’t mean to imply that guns and phone
don’t mean to imply that guns and phone
don’t mean to imply that guns and phone cases are the only things that you can
cases are the only things that you can
cases are the only things that you can do this with there are all sorts of
do this with there are all sorts of
do this with there are all sorts of materials that would work great for
materials that would work great for
materials that would work great for Hydra dipping and some of them would
Hydra dipping and some of them would
Hydra dipping and some of them would actually get handled less than squirt
actually get handled less than squirt
actually get handled less than squirt guns and phone cases so the spray paint
guns and phone cases so the spray paint
guns and phone cases so the spray paint may hold up a little longer on there if
may hold up a little longer on there if
may hold up a little longer on there if you try this at home we want to know
