Holy shit! An hour long. if you have a short attention span, don't even waste your time unless your willing to watch it in parts.
I'm also trying to educate myself in the arts of Hydrodipping and I will say that you do have some very good tips and clarification of them.
I was able to find some useful understanding on the pre painting rituals.
From what I understood, the project needs to be sanded in order for the primer to adhere itself to the project's surface and the primer in turn will leave a virgin surface for the color base paint coat to adhere to. Now for the color base paint, it's important that the paint just dries to the touch but does not fully cure. In average this can be achieved within 2 hours depending on conditions. They also said, not allow the color base to fully cure, this assures that the hydrographic have a good bond to the base paint. At this point fully curing the project is then needed for the clear coats for which they recommend not to be cheap on. On this particular tutorial the used a 2 part clear coat and the also said you can do multiple light coats as well as long as you're following the clear coat's instructions.

P. S. Is that a weather proof finish? When hunting in the rain here we used to get a beater shotgun and just spray paint it! Rust was a main concern with blued guns so if we took a treasured weapon we used to use gun grease on the outside and sometimes even STP which seemed to stay on in a pouring rain. The fun waterfowling was working the dogs and calling them in close so they never got a chance to flare from the bluing. Nowadays if I could get it I would go for a matte stainless in my A-5 or side by sides. Good times. I started my oldest boy on an 1100 almost thirty years ago now. Hard to beat a mess of duck or goose gizzards fried up properly. Take care. Doug

Great Video man! Nowhere on the internet do they show you how to touch up places missed. It has to happen to us newbees. Thank you so much for some guidance in how you worked through this process and especially the products used. I picked up several things from this video. I cannot think of anything negative about this video. It's the best how to Hydro-dip video on the internet. I yawn at the 3 minute video's of the pro's dipping. Absolutely their videos are useless. These vendors should think about doing instructional videos like yours. Fantastic results! Happy gunning! Thumbs up!

I always used the crappy camo tape, and was always left with adhesive stickys because it just does not all come off. EVEN with brake cleaner and all that did was soften the finish on the wood and smear everything to hell. Lesson learned there.
This stuff i have seen before, but not seen it done - thanks for that Eric O. Will i try it?
Not this year. maybe next on my 870. Looks almost like paint, and i'm thinkin how about a coat of satin finish spray poly to protect the the camo? Anyway thanks Eric O

Even tho you had some touch-ups to do. no one could ever tell where you had a touch-up. Its a cammo patern. hard to spot. All in All dam good job. Now I am and expert at hydro-dipping. Thank you very much. Gotta love you tube videos. I watched guitar repairs, and fret jobs for two years and finaly, i did my own 4 ret jobs on my guitars, and it turned out fantastic. My only disapointments I have about you tube, is that it wasn't out 50 years ago. LMAO.

Hello Eric, I have had good luck with cold bluing in the past (Birchwood Casey) although not hot bluing it did last quite a long time but i put several coats on. The more coats the deeper the color and the longer it lasts. Have you tried walnut or even milder baking soda medium when just blasting paint off? It is much gentler but removes all paint nicely. Nice project and 1100's are a tried and true shotgun. Is Sheba your bird dog/retriever? lol!

Thanks for the video. You answered all of the questions I have before I dip my 870 stock. Tubes is loaded with basic here's my dip, but your video has excellent info. FYI, baking soda and vinegar are great form cleaning tubs. Sprinkle heavy coat of soda and then spray with vinegar until you get a wet paste, work it in a little with your hand. Let soak for a while, re-soak and scrub.

Seee how the sides of the tape want to pull toward the inside when you dipped the Stock. That means NOt ENOUGH activator. It is fine for what you done but, on larger jobs like motorcycle parts it takes more activator than what you would think. I use a 1. 7mm tip HVLP gun to spray Activator with.
