That looks cool.

After successfully dipping my Dad's deer the other night we decided to do my wife's today. I'm not sure what's going wrong, but the paint is gelling together on the surface before I get a chance to dip. As soon as I try to swirl it with a stick all the paint sticks together. Outside temperature is close to when I did the other, but two attempts with water straight from the faucet and another with heated water I decided to give up until I find what's causing the issue.

I think I was using too much paint, so I cut back to just a thin film and it finally came out perfect. This is a wood stock, only one I could find to fit my wife, and I was trying to get it close to matching the fore end.

👍🏻👍🏻 it took me several test runs to figure it out too. Once you have the base coat on, it doesn't take much to add "design" to it.

How does the paint still manage to have the layered look even after you stir the paint together before dipping? Or maybe just barely swirling the paint but not actually mixing it?
Also do you place the skull directly in on top of the paint or go in away from paint then raise it up through the paint? Thanks and these look great!
