I want to know how Hydrographics work... it seems quite amazin'

The clue is in the name. :D

 

It's quite sad really.

 

Did you ever float oil based ink on water & then dip things in, coating them?

 

Basically that's it.

 

They float a film (any graphic image, for us, camo, but you can see the samples they have), on water & dip the product into it.

 

The film is pressed onto the object by the water pressure. They remove any excess film, take the item out & give it a few coats of lacquer to seal it.

As far as I know, I'm still the only 'airsoft customer' they have.

 

They have been doing air rifles etc. for ages.

 

I got my first softer done by them 4 years back & treat myself to another one every year. :D

 

I figured it would catch on, but apparently not.

 

I guess it must be fear of the unknown, cost & having to send your gun away for a few weeks. :unsure:

 

They currently have one of my VSR's, which should be back to me in about 3 weeks.

 

I can't wait, I've been meaning to do a vsr for ages but never got round to it. (Got a hardwoods green G36, M14 & P90, plus 2 glock slides :huh: )

 

As said, if it is a solid surface they can do it. Flexible & rubber type surfaces they cant do & scopes have to be waterproof.

 

Give 'em a ring.

 

The only warning I give, is that they always take longer than they say. Usually double! & they are often hard to get hold of. & they only take payment as cash or cheque.

 

This time round, they reckoned 3 weeks. They've had it 2 weeks so far & yesterday (when I checked to see how much it would cost), they said it should be ready in, yeah, you guessed it, 3 weeks. :rolleyes:

 

But it's well worth it. I'd suggest sending items that you don't intend to use for a while. :D

 

Your heart will skip a beat when it all comes back & you start to unwrap it. ;)
