Bree Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 I airbrushed a full airbrush cup of Super Sheen onto the strap both sides and the edges. Here is the result. Sorry for the yellow tint... bad light. Complete seal with zero run after 3 sprays. I tried to put some water on the edge to make it run... no run... no bleeding of color onto my finger. Test successful. Quote Ride Safe! Bree 2003 Dyna Wide Glide Memberships: Iron Butt Association, Niagara Falls HOG, Wild Fire HOG NRA, Niagara County Sportsman's Association
Members JustWakinUp Posted January 23, 2009 Members Report Posted January 23, 2009 One quick question. Is the tape applied to the flesh side? Have you tried applying it to both sides? I know when putting blue tape on the good side it tends to muff it a bit. Quote
Members Big Papa Leather Posted January 23, 2009 Members Report Posted January 23, 2009 I couldnt wait, and went out and bought some Frog Tape. I got it at Home Depot. I will be doing some Frog tape tests with the airbrush tomorrow (hopefully) Bree thanks for the test results and mentioning this product. Allen Quote Big Papa Leather

Bree Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) One quick question.Is the tape applied to the flesh side? Have you tried applying it to both sides? I know when putting blue tape on the good side it tends to muff it a bit. No It was not applied to the flesh side. The reason was that I am making double layer belts so the flesh side gets glued. If I was applying it to the flesh side, I would skive the blank to get a nice smooth surface and apply the tape. OR I would size or paste the flesh side so there is a smoother surface for the tape to adhere to. I would not feel real confident if the flesh side were fuzzy but I haven't tried it so I am only offering a speculation. Edited January 23, 2009 by Bree Quote Ride Safe!

Members bigorange Posted April 7, 2009 Members Report Posted April 7, 2009 I can't wait to give it a try with some oil dye,, Thanks Bree Quote
Bree Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Posted April 7, 2009 I can't wait to give it a try with some oil dye,, Thanks Bree Best to use a water-soluable dye since methinks that the absorbent on the tape edge is triggered by water not oil. Still it's pretty darn good tape and may well perform just as well with oil. Just not sure since I have only tried it with water-based. Quote Ride Safe!

Members bigorange Posted April 8, 2009 Members Report Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks I did read the water thing, in your post I just want to see if and how far the oil may run under the tape Quote
