Speed shapes
You need to choose the various shape of speed shapes according to your display plate and ABS price.
Of course, the material of speedshape needs to be ABS plastic, which is the only material that can be applied by hydrographic film directly no need to apply based painting.
Hydrographic film sheet
You can choose some typical hydrographic film sheets to dip, such as camo dipping film, military camouflage water transfer printing film sheet, popular skull dipping film sheet, classic wood grain transfer film, women’s follower hydro dip film sheet, kids’ popular cartoon hydrographic film sheet, dreamy digital or graffiti hydro dipped film sheet, etc.
To select 5 pcs per type or more according to your speed shape quantity and the space of your showcase bracket.
And cut more hydrographic film sheets for failure and testing.

Try to spray activator B on the hydro dipping sheet evenly, and observe the change of dipped film, if it dissolves too fast and its design is changed, then you need to reduce the amount of spray, if the design is damaged after your spraying, you need to adjust the strength of spraying.
