That thing would be ideal for me, count me in please Jim!

My comment wasn't meant to rub @MidOhioHydrographics and you certainly didn't offend. I was in the same situation. With the pressure of a business loan to repay, I ended up taking part time work to subsidize the dipping. If only I could go back an…

And for us Brits??

I think you misunderstand me @MidOhioHydrographics . I never went into it to 'run thousands of parts a week' That's not what its about for me. Here in the UK, it's still fairly new and people are wary. Mainly down to the cost. So trying to make it c…

Well @DeviousDips, A mix up with my order meant I got K2 Brew not the super kind. @AquaGraphix was kind enough to send me out some Superbrew to rectify the mix up (thanks again @Eve_Aquagraphix )so I think my next session will be with that, although…

Easy to say @MidOhioHydrographics. I'm sure you started the same place as everyone else, with a plastic tub in your garage. Shipping costs here in the UK have, until recently, put K2 activator totally out of my reach. Also, the price tag on a decent…

Wouldn't be so bad @WileECoyote but I have been struggling with activator for three years! 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!
-
Well, what can I say. Ordered from Aquagraphics (thankyou Eve) First class service from them. Why oh why haven't I used this stuff before now?? Couple of pictures of last nights shenanigans... Didn't do anything different, just used the K2 Brew.…

Tidy. I'll order some in the morning

Works out £10 more than your 'average' activator per litre in the UK, someone please tell me it really is worth it so I can justify buying some!

Nice to see another brit join up Welcome along!

They all look great tho the 2nd one up from the bottom is my favorite. Just wish we could get that pattern over here :(

I use pond filter sponge. you can buy a bag with 3 different grades in, I use the finest ones in mine but I don't suppose it matters so long as it catches the bits

2K rattlecans but you really need to have a few items ready to shoot as it only has around a 4 hour window and is quite expensive (in the uk) Hope this helps, Rob.

Thanks guys. I was hoping not to redo it, prep was a **badword** :( Oh well, back to square one I guess...
-
I got guns to go to the UK...lol...what else do ya need?... Wanted a tee but I just spent up on film :( Have to check in with you next month, see if your sending anything over here then...
-
No UK shipping? Boo!
-
Old ones are the best ones hey efxcustomcoatings?? Lol!
-
Yep, always something...

That's my next move I think, get the tank in my shed alongside my booth. If only the tank would go through the door :( Now, where did I put that sledge hammer... Joking aside, All your help is very much appreciated. Many thanks, Rob.

Ok, so I have this gun http://www.fastmovertoolsuk.com/fmt3600.html with a .8 tip. I was thinking I could use this one with my small compressor as it only draws 3 cfm. Even with the bigger 1.0 tip it's still not gonna work, right? Thanks, Rob.
-
The crappy compressor I have is a Clarke Airmaster Tiger Turbo 5/12 and having just spent the last half hour trying to find the specs I'm still no wiser :( I have a bigger unit in my shed but that's kinda 'plumbed in' for my spray booth. Thanks, …
-
Hang on, so if I use a smaller tip with my crappy hobby compressor I could still use air feed but just compensate with slower passes? Thanks, Rob.
-
A few months but still struggling to be honest. Bought myself a good sized tank but it seems the bigger parts I try to dip, the more problems I have. Very annoying as you probably know :(
-
Thanks K2. I'm using activator in rattlecans at the moment as the gun I bought has a 1.7 tip. I have since seen your video on setting up activator guns and decided to bin it and get one with a 1.9 instead (when the wife says I can) Thanks, Rob.

Hi Showtime. I'm not too far away from Leeds, you?
