I love this technique. I am too afraid to try but this video made it look super simple. I wonder if this could be laser printed over that.. Also, is there a clear coat or anything that’s applied after?

@Luxinda

Thank you! Please don’t be intimidated by hydro dipping. It’s really not difficult, and you can always clean off a bad dip with acetone, re-spray paint the tumbler and dip it again. It will definitely need to be sealed after dipping (after it’s completely dry) or epoxy resin won’t stick to it very well. So I spray with a couple coats of a clear spray paint, then resin over the whole thing. I’m not sure what you mean by laser printing over a dipped cup, so I don’t really know how to answer that question.

Woow awesome you are talented , I love art I'm new friend 😍❤

Just watched and it looks so easy but my question is can you not use the same paint in bucket to dip twice??

@Luxinda

10 ай бұрын

You can certainly try, but the paint floating on the water dries *very* quickly, so a second dip might result in a bunch of paint clumps and glops sticking to the cup. You'll need to experiment to see if it works ok for you.

Thanks for sharing. Very informative. I was wondering if the epoxy you use is considered "food safe", if that makes sense? Ok to drink from? Is there a specific epoxy you use? Thanks again.

@Luxinda

Жыл бұрын

Thank you!! Most well-known epoxy resin brands available (KS Resin, CCDIY, Mr. Nola's Glitter, ALE (A Little Extra), and many others), are "FDA compliant" meaning that food can come in contact with them and cause no harm. In the case of tumblers, the double-walled stainless steel cup design means the resin on the outside of the cup never touches the drink. The only time it might is if the user decides to sip out of the rim of the cup (like a regular drinking glass), and even then it's not very much contact. But most folks use the lids with straws to avoid any contact at all. Hope that helps a little!

What is the best water temp to do it at? Mine always gets globbed up before I dip!!

@Luxinda

3 жыл бұрын

Honestly, I started out hydro dipping by putting water in the bucket and letting it sit outside to warm up during the summer, but after a couple times that way, I got impatient and just used the temp of the water straight out of the hose. It’s well water so pretty cold. And I didn’t notice any change in the paints or in my results. My worst globbing occurred either when I waited too long after putting the paints in the water before I swirled and dipped, or when I’d used the water a couple times - even cleaning with a strainer doesn’t get all the residual paint out. Changing the water after every other dip helps a lot.

Can you sponge the marabu paint on a tumbler or only use as a hydrodip

@Luxinda

I'm not sure! You could certainly try that and see what the effect is. I admit I've never tried to use the marble paints any other way than in water as a dipping color. Great idea -- thanks!!

@Luxinda

The only thing I can think of is the water temperature. It should be on the cool side. And you need to shake the paints very vigorously then work really fast, use a generous amount of the paints, then skewer just a little vs over mixing. Keep trying - you’ll get it!

Do you seal your tumblers with anything after dipping?

Sure! When I prep cups for hydro-dipping or lots of other tumbler techniques, I use Rustoleum 2X spray paint. Flat white is the most frequently used, but I also use other colors if it will help the design somehow.

Hi do you think I could use the acrylic tumblers

@Luxinda

I don't see why not 😊 technically, you can hydrodip almost anything - sneakers, wood plaques, rocks, etc - so probably a plastic tumbler would work fine!

Literally had to hammer my way into my first paints so I agree with your “special place in hell” comment until my son taught me it’s more about twisting the cap open then squeezing!

Does this paint peel off the cups?

@Luxinda

Жыл бұрын

No, I don’t believe so - it’s very sticky, oil-based paint. It could be stripped off with acetone, but otherwise stays on. Plus there’s resin over it in this case. If you decided to hydro dip and not cover with resin, you’d still want some sort of varnish like a brush-on or spray. Hope this helps somewhat! Thanks for the question 😊

Do you know if you need to put a final sealant on if you want to wash it or put in dishwasher and don’t want the design to not come off. Or does the design not come off at all by itself?

@Luxinda

3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't consider washing it at all until you put a layer of epoxy resin over the entire cup. Then it can be hand washed. I wouldn't suggest putting it in a dishwasher cycle at all -- too much heat will probably ruin the cup and design. I know there is a particular type of Mod Podge that claims to be dishwasher safe, but I've never tried it. I suppose if you put a few layers of that over the hydro-dipped paint, it *might* be ok in the dishwasher, but I still wouldn't risk it.

When you blow dry are you using the hot or cold setting

Oh I use Marabu Easy Marble paints all the time. Yes, temperature does play a role, and spray paints dry up even faster than the Easy Marble bottle paint. It’s really a lot of trial and error. If you can set up your bucket of water ahead of time and let it get to room temperature (or outside in warmish weather) you should have a longer work time. Good luck!!

I think you do better if you slow down. no offense, You're like me, but when I watch guys do guitars they spend much time layering paint , swirl slowly and carefully (to not make mud) and dip slowly might help with coverage issues. Not criticism You're great slow down enjoy 😉

Thank you!! I have a *lot* to learn about developing a good hydro-dipping technique! I think one of the reasons I tend to rush is because when I hesitate for even a split second during the dip, I get an obvious (to me, anyway) glitch in the design, so my fix for that is to go faster. I need to develop a slow but very fluid dip and twist. 🙄🤞
