Hydro-Dip (Camo Process)

[Huntbear]

Thanks for the reply, that is what I was hoping to hear.  As soon as I can round up the money will be sending my rifle stock to you to have done.

Next month the M2D CAMO company will begin applying their particular pattern to gunstocks and such, with this hydro process.  (I've heard good things about the M2D camo, and just bought their parka.)

That is very cool Adam, I need to make a road trip and check out the shop and process. I have a few things I need done and need to show you how big they are to get a accurate quote.

Hey guys - I know this topic is a bit old but I found it in a search for camo dip. I just got one of these camo dip kits from mydipkit.com and it is pretty cool. The stuff is a little tempermental and it took me a few practice dips to figure it out to make things look better but I think I'm getting it now. I just dipped this little Bushnell 3-9x40 scope and it turned out pretty nice. I still want to put a couple more clear coats on it so there is still tape over the zoom dial and lenses and rubber rings around the eye peice - cuz of course I didnt want to get paint or camo on them - so thats why it looks bad in those areas

The kit was $100 and comes with ALOT of film, it says 1 sq meter, but its a roll about 24" wide and 12 or so feet long. I think I'll run out of activator long before I run out film. Basically you prime & paint your part, put the film on top of water, like in a plastic bin, then spray it with this activator stuf then dip your part, let it dry then clear coat it. Seems pretty durable too. I have tried to scratch it off with a finger nail and it wont scratch thru the clear coat very easy at all - you really have to try hard to scratch it. You can check out videos on campdipkit.com, mydipkit.com or on YouTube.

 I think the scope looks good but these dont really do it justice. Anyway, whatever its worth...

how did the turrets and variable power ring work out?

[trippledigitss]

Those are good prices on that website and the nice thing is you are guaranteed to get a nice professional finish. But with all the film in this kit I think I could easily do 10 complete rifles, barrels stocks & all or countless pistols & scopes. You can really dip alot with one kit -but.... the quality is all up to you. Try to hurry or cut corners and you will mess it up for sure.

I just took those pics this morning so I havent peeled the tape off yet to check the power ring. But the turrets turned out fine. I unscrewed them and they come off with no troubles and were perfectly clean underneath. I wll put the last clear coats on tonight and then tomorrow I'll pull all the tape off and see the final product. I'll let you know how it turns out.

So what happens if you screw it up? Does it come off easily (before you have clear coated) so you can start over again?
