    У меня тоже кристаллы получаются короткие. При уменьшении концетрации мочевины крилсталы становятся длиннее. Так же большое влияние на форму кристаллов оказывает окружающия среда. Необходима влажность и температура. И возможно ультофиолет (еще не пробовал).
    С кристалломи мучаюсь давно . Уже заканчивается второй килограмм мочевины, а пробники для опытов у меня по 25 граммов. Еще важно как вы наносите раствор на деталь.

I'm not getting deep crystals. Temperature really, really, really matters and it gets lost in the juxtaposition topics of the school portion. Sanding the helmet before adding the solution really, really, really matters.

    @Grilla-sp8ks Před 8 měsíci

    Thank you for the explanation. I'm a little confused about the use of the wetting agent. According to the product links in your description, the agent is used for water based paints. However, I thought the Rust-Oleum paints you recommend in your description were epoxy/enamel based paints. Are they not? Or, is the repelling nature of the of the two part of what creates the effect?

    • @ETOE

    Третий месяц мучаюсь. Не получаются длинные кристаллы.
    Дайте пожалуйста подсказку. Хотя бы в каком направлении думать.
    Спасибо

    Hi. Total geil. Abo ist raus, nur bitte einmal in DEUTSCH. Ick bin 41, Englisch is ne weile her und das sieht total spannend aus. Ick möcht dit mal selber ausprobieren, bitte. Bin zwar Techniker und Handwerker, schraube aber in meiner Freizeit mega gern an meinem Mifa Bike rum und ne neue Lackierung wäre cool. Andere Frage: funktioniert das auch auf blacken Rahmen und wenn ja, danach einfach Klarlack drüber oder was macht Ihr dann? Danke Danke
