DIY Camo Dip Kit

[jaclinto]

Here is one for the at-home gunsmith, or DIY camo lover - Camo Dip Kit - Do It Yourself Water Transfer Camo Dip Kit - it is the same process as the big hydro camo dipping comapnies, just in a smaller - at-home kit.

Thread to a long discussion about it:

Diy camo dipping kit - ArcheryTalk Forum: Target & Bowhunting Chat

Or you can cut to the chase and watch:

YouTube - D.I.Y. Camo Dipping a.k.a. hydrographing: Part 1

and

YouTube - D.I.Y. Camo Dipping a.k.a. Hydrographing: Part 2


Overall it looks like a decent idea. A bit pricey, but for the D.I.Y. types out there, it is about perfect. I am just waiting on them to offer the Skull Camo pattern before I buy a kit. No word on it, not even sure if they are planning on offering it... In the event they do, however, I will be sure to jump on it.

Looks like a pretty neat idea.

cool videos - there is also a shorter version on the homepage Camo Dip Kit - Do It Yourself Water Transfer Camo Dip Kit

I see that they added several new camo designs to the patterns that are available for the dip kit. I think that the digital military patterns will be a big hit with many people.

Just curious about durability and if there is a coating put on to seal once dipped item dries.
Thanks.

I "think" an automotive type seal coat is used??

 

[jaclinto]

same durability as a factory camo finish

The camo dipping kits are no different than having any project hydrographed professionally.

Just MUCH cheaper...You can send a bow off to a company to hydrograph and it will cost nearly $200 to do the whole bow, or you can do it yourself for $99 in any color you want.

Amen to that.............
