Felony Hydro dip tips and tricks!!?😡

[Senton_Prime]

So i messed up on a few pieces on the felony, the wing in particular.. Having trouble keeping the small edges, tight spots, and all the nooks and crannies from peeling, lifting, or water getting under it possibly and causing it to come off!! Was very excited to do this and now i feel its quite the task!!

I know my water temp is good (i watch it expand and contract), I know i get a nice coat of adhesive on it.. Too little and it doesn't stick.. Too much and it just breaks up and disintegrates!!

Any advise would be awesome!!

The adhesive is only on one side and made into the film. What you’re spraying on the film after it soaks for the allotted time is activator.

Nice thread.. Very informative!!
I think my situation is a tad different than dipping a body..🕵

These parts are very tiny therefore leaning me to believe that maybe little air pockets are created in between the film and surface causing them to seperate and rip apart when i swash the excess off.. Idk just guessing.. Trial and error i guess
