Cubication, or hydrography, is a method of applying printed designs to three-dimensional surfaces. It can be applied to metal, to plastic, glass, hard woods and any material that can be heated and immersed in water. During the cubing process, the object to be decorated goes through all the phases of painting: preparation of the surface, application of the primer, painting e lacquering. After the painting phase, before the lacquering, we intervene with the cubication. A hydrographic film based on polyvinyl alcohol, printed with the chosen design, it is carefully placed on the water surface of the immersion tank. The film is water-soluble and the its texture melts following activation with a special solvent. The object to be decorated is immersed in the water of the tub, by exploiting the hydrostatic pressure that presses the print against the surfaces. The surface tension of the water allows the print to adapt to any three-dimensional surface. Any residues are rinsed off, while the adhesion areas of the print do not they will detach. The piece is left to dry. Finally, the processing is completed by applying a layer of glossy or opaque clearcoat which protects the object from accidental scratches and gives the desired degree of shine. The adhesion of the press comes from the action chemistry of the activator that interacts with the binder, softening it, and allows the ink to bind. The failure of the operation is often the consequence of a bad application of the activator, both for excess of volume and for defect.

We guarantee a reliable and complete service aimed at restoring your woods, depriving them of scratches, bumps, cracks or irregularities, avoiding replacement.

What distinguishes us from the classic cubicature is the possibility to customize your weapon at 360 degrees with written LIVREE and airbrushed logos guaranteeing the uniqueness of your weapon.
