K2 Superbrew

I got my gallon of superbrew in friday and got to try it out today on two grips for a couple of deep water jigging rod builds. I am by no means an expert at dipping, not even close. I have learned to read the film the few years I've been at it and have really come to appreciate the higher quality products I have started to use and superbrew is at the top for me now, as far as activator goes. I literally giggled after the first grip was dipped. The color retention blew my mind! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out!

I hate shipping companies...I know they have to make a living and all but they usually are the monkey wrench in the whole machine...
Didn't do anything different, just used the K2 Brew. These where all first hits, I'm gobsmacked! Thank you all for the nudge, I won't be buying anything else from now on!
PS: Sorry the photos are jumbled up!
At least now I can crack on and actually advertise for work.
Be nice to earn a bit of money back, god knows I have put enough into it already!
k2 superbrew? I've never used brew but superbrew is without a doubt the beat activator I have used. I have 5 different ones and alot are close to my 2nd fav but superbrew will is in the GPI at all times
But Actually? No. I’ve never bought a dip kit and never dipped in a tub. My situation was a bit different, but we were starting a business to run thousands of parts a week. We knew it would cost money and invested in the business with (what I thought were) quality pieces of machinery. My first dips were 5 years ago in a 2.5 meter Liquid Print tank. The same one that has been dipping thousands of parts a week for the last two years. You wouldn’t believe how much we spent in equipment and supplies before my tank was even full of water. Again, my situation was different and I don’t look down on those who start any way they can. I actually encourage it! The process is amazing. Have fun and get your hands wet. We will be here to help! What I don’t like is people who want to hack together the lowest quality stuff they can find because it’s inexpensive and expect a large production contract or thousands of custom jobs to just walk through the door because “nobody else around here” is dipping. I do production work for companies from Pennsylvania, Arizona, and even Hawaii. Jim is in California and decorated thousands of game console controllers from Ohio. “No one else around here” doesn’t matter. I’m not saying this to discourage anyone from doing it. Just so that if you’re in this to make a living, then do it! Go get that contract! But most of all? Make sure you’re ready for it when it comes.
Fact of the matter is, there are so many 'suppliers' telling you their **badword** is actually 'the **badword**' you don't know who to believe until you try it. When I find a local supplier selling K2 stuff and it's way more expensive than the usual I buy, yes, I am gonna ask questions.
So shoot me, I'm past caring.
I do apologize if I came across harsh. I don’t mean to offend anyone. I also don’t sugar coat anything. Either way, if you want to be a business (of any caliber). You need to go into it thinking that way. That’s all I’m saying. If you’re wanting to just do it for fun? Unfortunately the process doesn’t care. Quality work means using quality materials and tools.
The comment of “Easy for you to say” just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Setting up my business and currently running it are anything but easy. I started in 2012 and worked whenever I could while my wife’s income supported us. Young kids and a new business? Anything but easy. Took me until March of 2015 to hire my first full time employee. And most recently Laying off 2 of my 5 employees at Christmas time because my business started losing money? Anything but easy.
Nothing about this process is easy. LOL!
If only I could go back and start again with the knowledge I have now!
Right, back to the workshop!
