That's really cool. Never thought of that.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Of the look?  Not a fan.  Like the bone white look much better.  But it looks like you did a great job getting coverage and if that's what they wanted I bet they'll be happy.

Where this comes in real handy is when guys cap the skulls. You can mount the capped rack on a Mikes plastic skull plate, fill in the gaps, sand smooth and have dipped, making it look like a solid skull again. :tup:

This look isn't for me, but you did a very nice job of the dip itself.

Thanks for all the opinions and comments good or bad. It really helps hearing from folks, and what they think.  I was going to discontinue this option but feel that even if there are just a few that want or like it I will continue to offer this as a option.  Thanks again for your input.

Not long ago on here, I saw a hydro dipped bear skull. Was a damn shame to ruin such a nice skull with some camo thats gonna flake off over the years.

It was me that posted a bear skull that was dipped.  Just so you know  (you have been misinformed or dint know what your talking about one of the two) this stuff does not peel off it is just a tuff as good paint with clear coat.  Very durable and guarantee ed not to peel or chip.  This product can be applied to just about any surface, wood, metal, and plastics.   I guaranteed that if you look around today you will see a product that has been hydrodipped.  Your bow, binoculars, rangefinder, gunstock, scope if they are camo they were dipped.  The options are just about endless.  Google it watch some youtube videos pretty cool process and yes I offer it.  The only restriction I currently have are the size of my tank which measures 40'' by 26".

Carp yes the very first pic is your cousins.  Ill shot you a call and make some plans to drop it at the sportsman show this week sometime.  See you then.

I'm not a big fan of that particular patern (I know you have other paterns) but I do like the idea and have seen other paterns on skulls that I do like.  I am sure interest will pick up.  It takes time to get the word out there.

I think that is really nice. A nice alternative for those who want something a little "spicier". Nice work.

I have always wanted to have my .300 stainless barrel dipped, how much would you charge to do it?? I love the stainless part but it's real shiny in the woods.
