I love this, but it bothers me for reasons I can’t properly ar-tic-ulate.

(I took the joke presented in the syllables, but I’m kinda serious)

Any particular technique for the dipping?

[–] Rutty@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I am still developing technique but it’s relatively straightforward.

Spray pain on water, then dip the piece. It takes a little practice to start getting some good results. Rotating slowly as you lower it seems to help. Dipping more than once can be a smart idea. Warm water is better than cold water.
