hidepounder Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Thank you mucho, Bob. Your pieces, as several others, just have that beautiful warm glow. Kinda reminds me of when I was 18 and . . . well, that's another story.When you dye lettering, do you do it before or after Neatsfooting it? And do you use Sharpies or spirit dyes? Thanks again, Bob.I use spirit dyes and I do all my dyeing before I oil. I have dyed backgrounding after oiling, but it takes longer to dry. I have only dyed lettering before oiling. Also, it's important to let the dye completely dry before applying the first coat of Neat-Lac, because Neat-Lac will pick up the dye!How do you deal with the fumes from Neat Lac? I can't even stay in the same building as that stuff! The first and only time I used it, I was buzzed outta my gourd!That's easy Hilly....if the Neat-Lac fumes begin to dissapate, I open up my can of Barge! Quote

Members CitizenKate Posted December 10, 2008 Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 I use a respirator and crank up the fan whenever I use anything that emits strong fumes. I'm saving up to get a spray booth someday. Kate Quote

Members Rawhide Posted December 10, 2008 Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 Jeez, Rawhide, you're takin' all the fun out of it. I don't want to take the fun away. Just trying to keep the few brain cells I have in tact, so that I can keep the memory loss away!!! Quote Marlon
