i dipped a jungle green vore a while back. don't let the thickness on a fresh dip fool you. it will dry way thinner. but it does feel pretty tacky in a food way. also dumbed down the corners on my junglevore.

was thicker than this when i got done dipping it.

ended up like this after it was completely dry.

Thanks for posting those pics, lazi. How long did it take to completely cure?

was over a yead ago but if i remember correctly it seems like a least 24 hours. best to let it sit for as long as you can because there might be bubbles of wet dip under the skin that forms. it may warp the shape or even bust and leak a little dip out. i think that's what happened to the corner in the last picture. even it was dry enough to handle it did tighten a little more over the next couple days.

If you dip your handles, watch for the Bubbles. If they form, when it is slightly dry try using a pin to "Pop" the bubble some. You can maybe pop it and then GENTLY squeeze the air out of it.

Here's what they look like today. You can see I have a tiny bit of trimming to do. They do feel a little bit tacky, which is a good thing for me. I'm very happy with the outcome.
