Make Waves gives a phone, sneaker and dumpling the hydro-dip treatment
The channel's only new upload turns floating paint into metallic and marbled finishes, while its longer art challenge passes a million views.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Can You Hydro Dip ANYTHING?
A folding phone goes into gold paint and gold-leaf flakes. A white sneaker gets red and black. Then Make Waves brings out the squishy dumpling toy, because apparently footwear wasn't enough of a test.
"Can You Hydro Dip ANYTHING?" compresses those experiments into a Short, with the host dipping each object through paint floating on water. The sneaker emerges marbled; the dumpling gets a multicolored finish and a squeeze. Viewers have a couple of follow-up ideas: one asks about the charger, while another proposes the wonderfully circular challenge of hydro-dipping water.
It was the channel's only upload this week and has drawn about 32,000 views. The broader hydro-dipping theme has more momentum: "I Tested Satisfying Hydro Dipping Art!" has passed a million views, with EY and FI competing to make custom designs on expensive items. It is among the channel's busiest videos right now, alongside the optical-illusion experiments. The older Coca-Cola guessing Short supplies the strongest daily viewing of the three.
Make Waves added about 30,000 subscribers over the week, though daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby challenge channels, Dude Life had a substantial week for views, while Dude Perfect Plus was quieter. Make Waves itself drew more weekly views than most of that group, with its paint-covered experiments adding a new texture to the familiar puzzles and visual tricks.
