Prepare The Film
Carefully cut the hydro dip film to the appropriate size, ensuring that it is slightly larger than the object you plan to dip. This extra margin will allow for easier handling and alignment of the film during the dipping process.
Laying Film In Water
Lay the film flat on a clean, dry surface, taking care to avoid any wrinkles or creases that could affect the appearance of the final design. Properly preparing the hydro dip film ensures that it is ready for activation and application to the object.
Prepare For Film Activation
Use HGI film activator and directly fill the activator in your spray gun
Activate The Film
Activate The Film
Before applying the hydro dip film to the object, it must be activated using a chemical solution known as a hydro dip activator.
Dipping The Object
Once the film is in place, quickly and evenly submerge the object into the water, allowing the film to wrap around its surface. Use gentle, fluid motions to ensure that the film adheres evenly to all areas of the object.
Rinse The Object
Rinse The Object
After dipping the object, carefully remove it from the water and rinse it thoroughly with clean, fresh water to remove any excess film residue. This step helps to ensure that the final finish is clean and free of any leftover chemicals or debris from the dipping process.
Apply Clear Coat
Apply Clear Coat
For added protection and a glossy finish, consider applying a clear coat sealant to the object once it has dried completely. This clear coat helps to seal and protect the printed design from scratches, fading, and other damage, extending the life of the finished product.
