Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted October 15, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted October 15, 2007 Again Dave...BEAUTIFUL.... What thickness of padding are you using on those? Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Thank you for all the compliments, they are much appreciated. Beaverslayer, the padding is 1/2" neoprene. I buy it from Foam and More in Michigan. They supply it with an adhesive backing (extra charge) and the stuff is just perfect for bike seats. The neoprene is closed cell so it won't hold water, doesn't mildew or rot....pretty much the perfect outdoor padding. Foam & More 1925 W. Maple Troy, Michigan 48084 1-248-284-0002 Dave Theobald Quote
Members JustWakinUp Posted October 15, 2007 Members Report Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Nice David, Do you think it is easier to use a touch up gun or an paasche airbrush? Im still stocking up on tools and what not so Im curious if I need to purchase both? Can't find that buckskin/medium brown stain anywhere, where are you getting it from.

Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 I certainly wouldn't purchase both.... oh wait, I DID purchase both....mmm I guess if you have one of them, learn to use it well. Only get the other when your original tool isn't working for you. The touch up gun puts a lot more stain on the seat....and in the air than an airbrush would. I use it because I can get a much more even tan color than I can with an airbrush. This is probably due to my lack of skill with an airbrush. For me it only becomes a problem with the tan colors they seem to streak easier with an airbrush.... Black for instance can be applied with anything...broom....mop....etc. :biggrin: Seriously a single spraying means should be sufficient.....just practice until you are actually good with it.
