There are many diverse material substrates that film is often applied to, such as plastic, metal, wood, and more. Below are the steps within the immersion process and what you need to know.

**Instructions**

**Preparation**

Before you start, eliminate the bands from your shoes. Fill the shoes with old plastic bags or newspaper.

Using painter’s tape, tape the tongue of the shoe and each of the exposed plastic parts of the shoe. We didn’t tape the only one, if you don’t want the soles to be discolored, then tape them as well.

The internal history of hydro-soaking. When you use hydro-soak on your shoes, the cycle begins with printing. a special paint design is formed, which design is then printed on a water-soluble film. Before giving the shoe its final design to apply, the shoes must be painted before the ultimate patterns are applied. Candy paint, or colored paints, can also be applied to the hydro-dipped shoe.

**Soaking instructions**

1. First. Confirm that you have read all of the instructions and precautions on the paint bottle. confirm that you are working outside in a well-ventilated area. Follow the bearings on the paint bottle for security.

2. When it was too cold outside, the paint “froze” too quickly and did not give an excellent soak. I might not recommend this project if it is below 50 degrees outside.

3. Fill a tub halfway up with water.

4. Spray the paint in the tub. it will “float” above the water.

5. It is best to spray each color of paint on a separate area of ​​the tub. instead of all the others.  
We additionally found that 3 shades of paint worked in a way that is better than 2. If you want 2 color shoes, I recommend adding white paint to your color scheme.

6. Using a mixing stick, swirl the paint in the water until a cold pattern forms.

7. Holding the shoe by the sole, submerge it in the water, and then remove it.

8. You need to jump gradually and tenderly and take off the shoe gradually too to permit the paint to stick. try not to leave the shoe in the water. Set it on the right track in and afterward straight.

**Finish**

1.Put the shoe on a shoebox or other box and let it dry overnight. do not remove the paint until the surface of the shoe is dry.

The inside of the shoe will take every day or two to dry completely. you fill the shoes with regular newspaper to aid the drying process.

**How long does it want to dry?**

The time it takes for your item to dry depends on the ratio when you complete the method. most often on a daily basis, you will find a product that dries in 20 minutes to an hour.

Remember that the main paint on the merchandise should wait 2-3 hours to dry. After the initial painting of the thing is done, you will want to make sure you can submerge the merchandise within 8 hours of spraying.

**Rinse**

Once you are done dipping, you will notice that the dipped item has a viscous residue throughout. This residue must be rinsed off. People do that in many different ways, using watering cans, garden hoses, and even the sink (again, not recommended because the activator has a strong odor) for the rinsing process. When rinsing, you’ll help speed things up by gently scrubbing the item as you rinse to help loosen the residue. Please don’t rub too hard, otherwise, you will rub the back of planning. You will know this once you are done rinsing because the item will start to feel dry and all the slimy residue will be gone.

**Durability**

Immersion in water is as durable as the paints and paints you use. If you use automotive-grade paint, your graphics will be as durable and luscious as replacement car paint. Different paints are used for various applications, such as automotive-grade paint (for tires and auto parts) or Cerakote (for firearms and bows). you would like to decide on the right paint for your project.

**Conclusion**

Hydro-soaked shoes can be fun through fun-filled times. Hydro-soaking can be a very neat and fine process that makes shoes look beautiful and it’s great after hydro-soaking and it’s a fun activity. Hydro dipping embellishes all types of everyday objects, hydrography is this magical technique that allows you to almost instantly personalize any room by adding color and three-dimensional effects.
