    Should you resist the piece before applying the paint?

    I have used it with an airbrush. It needs thinned! About 1-4 works for most testing I have done maybe 1-3 will work (paint to thinner). Thanks for the reply's Tony

    Also what brand of paint do you use in the bottles? I have plenty of Angelus paints. Is the paint thinned or straight? THX

    Thanks for the video, that explains it much better. Somehow painting with a needle didn't register with me.

    Look here; http://www.lasered-stamps.com/home.html he posts here frequently. If he doesn't have in stock what u need he can make it and his prices are reasonable. Tony

    yep, melting rubber dripping off the front of your helmet would make me look for a way out.

    like these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BCP-10pcs-30ml-Needle-Tip-Glue-applicator-Dropper-Bottles-for-DIY-Handmade-Paper-/122592906282?epid=2123087205&hash=item1c8b1b4c2a:g:kCAAAOSw-ldZZIRX I don't understand how you paint with a needle... I have tried ultra fine point sharpies with some success.

    Try an airbrush! I use it for saddle tan because it lets me make it as dark or light as I want. A cheap airbrush is fine for spraying large items (wallets etc), but for fine detail you should spend some $$$$$.

    won't the inner tube melt?

    Look on ebay for the cheapest leather bib for your bike u can find and use that as a template.

    How would you go about coloring something that complex? Very small brush?

    both will do what u want very well. Just angle the cup to where u need it, but don't forget that u have it at an angle, the cups without a top may spill the contents.

    Thanks Alpha2, I'll order both.

    I'm making myself a belt that uses a large buckle with the curved pin soldered on the back. I want to use eyelets for the holes. Anyone have an idea of the eyelet size so I won't have to buy packages I may not use? Or how can I measure for them? I don't have any eyelets now to use as a reference. Thanks

    Have you tried painting acrylic over the minwax? Does it hold up to bending? Any info appreciated.

    Lumpen, that is the very reason I ordered a Knip French Model knife. I had a clicker knife also, it was difficult to sharpen and wouldn't hold an edge.

    I use Main Threads .040" for 5-6 spi
  21. retiredff
    Is that mm or inches? That size Tiger is about .023".

    I have seen them on ebay, but you will pay dearly for them.
  23. retiredff
    yep, I agree!

    Thanks Matts but I'm going a different direction. I usually cheap out but I need a quality knife for pattern cutting, i'm going custom after the 1st of the year.
