Getting pissed learning hydrodipping

[DJ_Critterus]

This is actually starting to piss me off, now. I dip and the print bunches up around the edge of the part. I add more activator, and it works out better, but then I get the white spots like too much activator and the print bunches up at the end of the dip leaving globs that pull more of the print off the edges. Water at 90deg. Using film and activator from Dipape. Is this a cheap product or is it just technique.

I got nothing other than once you figure it out, it's going to be bad ass.

Friend of mine does it. I know it's not easy.

Yep

Water getting on the back of the transparency? Are you waiting long enough after spraying the activator? Dipping at an angle? Hard to say what the issue is. My guess is water getting on the back of the transparency.

Other forums are saying the water is "beating me" so I need to back tape the edge. Film is soaking long enough and can't be over soaked. They're also saying that it looks as though I'm under activating, still.
