Hydro dip dip dip

I bought a couple of rolls of this Hydro dip and tried it. I really want to do one on my rifle butt, which is fiberglass but I need to try a few smaller items first, it was basically some prep to the mag to clean it off of oil and then you spray a primer color, here I used white on the Grim Reaper and a tan on the camo. It’s a woodland edge camo, which I kinda like. I’ll let them dry and then you spray a clearcoat on top of it will update with some range report.
This was first try, the timing is crucial you let the film hydrate for 60 sec and then spray an activator wait 20 seconds not 30 to dip. , my mistake was too much activator and it started to run out before I could get to dipping
Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

What you've done looks real nice but it seems you're doing a lot of spraying, what little I've seen in the past was actually dipped in a containers, maybe I was watching the wrong method of dipping ???

Thanks
i was curious how well such kits worked
It looks like you naled it
use a deeper than you think dip tank my tote hit bottom with just a mag
and warm water , strained well, or changed each time, some of the skull x contaminated the camo dip
also some sort of jig to keep the film from running out
