- Here I am keeping my promise to bring you great DIY projects for little or no money...This is part 1 of a do it yourself camo dipping process also called hydrographing. This is a product called "My Dip Kit" (www.mydipkit.com) that is manufactured by a company called Liquid Print (www.liquidprintone.com)...It's a great camo pattern called Timber's Edge XD, and My Dip Kit is also available from www.timbersedgecamo.com. This is an awesome DIY project for people who love camo, and love do it yourself projects. I have to say, this is an absolute blast for people who like to do things themselves.
A big thank you from another guy absolutely obsessed with camouflage
Dude, that stock came out insanely awesome!
Running the list of stuff that i can camo in my head right now.
that is awesome stuff man... you make it look so easy... i would drive my wife nuts camoflauging stuff around the house like that.. i love how you did the light switch panel,and the picture frame, that is cool... definately gonna have to look this stuff up..
REALLY COOL THE WAY IT STICKS
that is freaking sick. I did not know that you could even do stuff like this b4 this vid.
This is just like water marbling for fingernails. Awesome.
lol once you get going you cant stop, could imagine everything in your house being dipped. DIY are really fun and cheap too.
Awesome video. I didn't know it was possible to do this without some high end equipment. Thanks a lot.
Sick stuff, makes everything you dip look bad ass!
Thank you for this video... your the only one that actually gave a good view of you dipping multiple shaped items (im surprised how the stock turned out)... thanks
Very cool! Great presentation.
The process is incredible durable. The film, paint, and clear coats all have UV inhibitor. Also, the clear coat cures, or hardens over time to provide protection from the elements.
Great video bro ! I have 2 bow's and a few other items i plan to hydro dip before hunting season . Thanks for sharing .
AWESOME -- Thanks for sharing!! You made it look very easy.
If I made the only way it would have been any better would have been to show all of the completed products dry and put together. Keep up the Great Work and Videos
I use to do this 30 years ago, just get a bowl of water & slowly pour multy colours of oil based paint on the water (oil floats on water) then just dip whatever as shown, use to get some cool psychedelic paint jobs & camo jobs.
that is crazy cool!!! luv it!! i wanna do my hubby's outlet covers for him for his man cave, great idea!!
Freaking awesome man! I never knew it was possible to do something like this myself. Thanks a bunch for sharing the info. Great clear demonstration too. This got my pulse going, man. I cannot wait to try it.
That is going to be sick!
This is completely cool as cucumbers. I happened across this video...and the rest WILL be history. HAHAHA! I'm not going to have a damn thing left that isn't camo'ed. Thanks for posting this. I actually held my breath when you dipped that stock. LOL
Damn....that's cool. Got to try it someday.
I love it. I've seen the Tuttles from Orange County Choppers do this a few years ago.
I gotta say, I LOVE your videos. I love building and making stuff instead of just buying it. I will definitely be doing a few of your DIY progects very soon! Keep up the good work man!
So cool! I did this with my Macbook Pro and it turned out great! ...but soon after, I realized what I had done...
thanks for the video i am going to try it and am glad to see someone try to cover alot of the bases besides just dipping
I'm gonna dip my head in it for turkey season
I am surprised how well that stock came out!! Good video, I would like to see the items dried.
That's pretty cool, thanks for the tutorial.
I was amazed as well.
Your videos are awesome!, I saw this one on archery talk and I think I will definately be ordering me a kit or 3!
I'm really looking at getting into this using a decorating station and a paint booth to clear coat everything. It seems like a very low overhead thing to get into. Then I want to get a printer/cutter and do graphics and signs/banners as well. The beauty of both of these things is they are such low overhead....nice vid thanks for sparking my interest even more
man that's awesome!!i want some! I myself am addicted to having everything camo and i would have to much fun with this!nice video man!
Wow that's bad ass! Thanks! Gonna try this!
the pistol box came out awesome
Just to be clear, this is the exact same film that professional shops use, just in a DIY kit. There is also a can of satin clear coat that comes in the kit to finish your dipped item. Thanks for the vid!
Wow, I wonder how nice it could be in an eletric guitar body.
@robbie8600 I would recommend that you dip the stock in 2 parts...that will ensure good coverage. Mask off one half of the stock (right down the middle) then dip that side and let it dry, then mask of the area that you just dipped (make sure it's dry- i would let it sit overnight) and then dip that side. If you run into spots, use a magic marker or airbrush to blend it all in- if you mask off and re-dip spots, it will look jacked up, the marker and/or airbrush blend it a lot better.
Great videos again!!!
I would really love to see how it turns out on a sight or cams or a riser... or about anything.
Too cool
That was awesome
As I was watching this video, I was looking around for things to camo dip, lol!
@btrules it's the same exact stuff that the professionals use...if you have a gun or bow that's camo, odds are it was hydrographed. once you let the dip dry, then you clear coat it...it's not bullet proof lol, but it holds up awesome.
if you buy all the items needed seperately it is about 40 dollars cheaper.
In actual hydro graphic film and activator, maybe $15.00.
Green scrub pad - $ 0.50
220 grit sand paper (plastic parts) - $ 0.25
Quality auto adhesion promoter (Spray Can) - $ 6.70
Quality Primer (Spray Can) $ 5.50
Quality Flat Tan base color (Spray Can) - $ 7.50
Quality Satin Clear Coat (Spray Can) - $ 8.00
8oz can spray activator - $18.00
Painters tape - $ 2.00
Walmart 18"x12"x10" plastic tub - $10.00
Tight !!! Great vid
Super cool!
What don't know why people are taking time to leave douche bag comments. Thank you for taking time to post this. Gave me some idea on what is involved.
@retroxb
I'm not into dipping yet, but i did read a lot about it, so it could be several things that can go wrong like:
to cold water, not enough activator, or even the wrong side of the film on the water.
Just ad a little water on both sides on a corner of the film. the side that is getting sticky is the side that should contact the water, so face down while the other dry side is the side where you spray the activator on.
Why did I have to discover this, now I HAVE to camo everything I own.
Oh i totally get it...there is a very easy explaination for all this ;-)...make a bunch, take them to the pro shop, and ask for a trade lol...i got a BUNCH of stuff from a local pro shop as a trade
dude now I'm addicted
Good luck getting your pool to 70-75 degrees, might want to try a jacuzzi/hot tub lols
After watching your video and a whack of other videos on the process of hydro dipping, I came to the conclusion I NEED this stuff in a bad way! I went and ordered a whack of different patterns and a gallon of activator. Obviously you've got the dipping process down pat and do an amazing job at it, so any little nuggets of wisdom or caution you can share with us? I am so looking forward to getting my supplies. I can see this will be very addictive! So cool! Thanks for sharing the info and video!
So... Could you send me some of that in the mail??? haha... I wanna camoflauge my dog! That would b sooo... funny. I loved that website for the zebra print! Thanks for being so AWESOME!
Camo over everything...
Great demonstration Thank You!!!
Looks addicting.
Yeeeeah Camouflage your wife!!!! : D
Me too, I need to get a thermometer in my pool haha I just jump in and either freeze or freeze most of the time until I get used to the temperature. XD That's why I don't think my pool reaches 70-75F though it does depend on where you live, could reach warmer temps there :P
hey am from uk great vids man just made them shooting sticks work great
that is fresh as a farmers market :p
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thats kinda awesome!
oh snap im gonna camo everything now
@phantomshooter01 if you're throwing your stock in a wood chipper, yes it will chip and crack...the film is tough stuff, you need to protect it with clear coat...as with anything, it's not indestructible, but its not a coating of flower petals either lol
Season for thunder chickens opens up May 1 for me...i'll be out there tryin to FOB one!
This is sick
you love it so much that it makes me wonder what your home looks like 0_o
@tame444 I've never dipped a skull, so I really can't speak as far as experience...I'm sure that if you contact the manufacturer they could give you some good tips. Good luck and thanks for watching!
You got a lot to learn
I'm gonna do this on my Mossberg Maverick 88 and my Zippo.
this is so cool man!
you should dip a bow! thank you for the great video!
Hydrodip the old lady!!😂
Can you hydro dip a fish? That'd be epic!
The primer that comes with the kit is formulated to work on metals.
hey dude , great video !
I think I would find it difficult to run out of stuff to dip. In fact I am going to start my own shop so that I am going to always have plenty of suplies to do my own stuff as well because this seems so awesome that I just can not pass.
so camo your whole life!lolol,,,,,,nice vid
Im going to do more dipping soon, i was in a rush to get this video out, I can't upset my TH-cam and AT followers lol...i think my cousin and I are attempting to dip his trucks dash board this weekend, we just need to find a tub big enough
@2010maggiemay I don't know of any brand names, but if you go to an auto parts store, they carry the primer
WOW!!!! This product is awsome !!!!! always wondered how they did it ,now i know.
I want to order this but i hope they can ship it to Cyprus . I got 5 guns that need doing .(including an antique shotgun tha belongs to my dad :0) ). Great vid bro . ( my mind is now like ok so what else can i camo now aahhhhhh!!!!!!!
@trippledigitss lol thanks man, I am really surprised that there were no instructions...in a nutshell, you dip the item (make sure the water is WARM..a lot of guys are having this problem, the water is too cold and the film just melts away) after you dip the piece, you want to immediately wash the slime off. after all the slime is gone you let the piece air dry (i would say overnight) then you clear coat it. Make sure you do a few test runs first...get comfortable with the process..good luck!
It is, but most outdoor pools unless heated in some way, won't be that warm, unless it's really hot out. I could be wrong.
Hey come to think of it - since you do such an awesome job how about I send you my kit and items and you can do them for me! heheheh I mean hey, if you ran out of things to dip! I'm just thinking of you man, thats all! Thanks again for the great vids!
I could be wrong too, but I believe my pool used to hit that sometimes during the summer (not heated). Any way, I wasn't saying that to fight or anything, I was just wondering :)
when doing smaller things or any thing for that matter you should make a border using the tape in the water also so it doesnt expand to much and stretch the image to much.
you do a good job,nice work, looks good, can you do a deer skull in camo from start to finish thanks
Thanks from Germany
The kit comes with detailed instructions. There is quite a bit of information on the website for mydipkit so you can get an understanding of the process.
looks good
wow you even did your hat and curtains!
wow this is pretty cool. I think im going to camo my xbox :D
pretty cool
I really wish he would have shown us how he used it to camouflage his hat and curtains too. ;-)
Great vids man!
@UltmtSniper it's the same exact stuff that the professionals use...if you have a gun or bow that's camo, odds are it was hydrographed. once you let the dip dry, then you clear coat it...it's not bullet proof lol, but it holds up awesome.

@S0C0MIII you can do metal, but you need to get a self-etching primer...i would suggest calling the manufacturer and get a recommendation on a specific brand.
awesomee!!!!!!!
awesome..
I want to camo my entire body, then I can be the first person to perfect invisability!
HEY!!! THANKS FOR ADVERTISING!!! FEEL FREE TO STOP BY ANYTIME AND DO IT AGAIN!!
