How Does the Process Work?
Products are decorated using a print, which resides on a thin base of water-soluble film. The printed film is placed on the surface of the water, and the base begins to dissolve. A patented activator chemical is sprayed over the film causing the ink to remain floating in an oil-like state on top of the water. Next the properly prepared part is immersed into the water, and the upward pressure of the water causes the ink to wrap around and adhere to the item. After the entire item has been immersed, it is removed from the water, cleaned and then coated with a clear coat.

What Do I Need to Provide?
1. Dipping Container: The vessel or container needed for processing.
2. Heated water: You will need to fill your dipping container with heated water. You can use warm water straight from your sink. You do not need to add anything to the water, just make it warm water like you would use to wash your hands. As long as the water is not cold or room temperature you will be ok.
3. Eye protection
Tips for Selecting the Right Dipping Container
The container can be made of any desired material such as plastic, glass or metal. A square or rectangular container is the most desired configuration.The container should be of a size that when you lay your desired part to be processed in the center of the container, you should have two to three inches of space between the sides of the container. Also, the container should be deep enough that when you process your part it will be totally submersed below the water line. Your container can never be too deep, but it can be too shallow.
