I have and I'm getting my son setup with a small business in WA doing this kind of stuff. There is a guy in Qld that does it but had no interest in helping us setup in WA.
We have set ourselves up with the dipping tanks and will show more once we get going. The hardest part so far is getting the "activator" that's applied to the film.
Tried to buy off USA ebay but they wouldn't send to Aus because of the law of importing chemicals.

You know you are getting old when the candles on your birthday cake start to cost more than the cake itself.

Caution !!!
Yes I've seen this before, although a word on some of the chemicals involved, from what I can gather :
Because of the nature of chemicals used in the inks / activator agents etc. it should be made clear that you must be wearing gloves while handling, do not use bare hands ! ...
Secondly, you will need a well ventilated area and a chemical respirator when spraying stuff ...
Another site worth looking up : http://www.aussiedipkits.com.au/index.p ... ographics/
