I attempted to beautify a keyboard with hydro dipping three times. And I failed three times. But I’m not giving up. I’ve found an expert who can help me. As Pascal Barth from Barth Hydrographics told me right away, hydro dipping isn’t the right choice of technique for my project, but swirling with special paint instead of spray cans is.
