Thanks so much buddy [emoji120]

Scared moving forward now that I'm gonna bugger it up, but I'll get hopefully get there.

 

[Mike115]

Well the salt corrosion method worked well I think.

How time for grime and stuff

 

[Mike115]

Does thst look like 30 years of grime?

Tonight I started a project I've wanted to do since I was a kid

I've always loved First person shooter games

So I've ordered and now received actual bullet buttons for my pad

While it's apart I'm going to do a similar design to the white one I did, only, lm going to try and improve it

I've never tried anything like these 2 projects in my life

 

[Mike115]

As a side note, I shot acrylics this am and cleaned up by spraying a cycle of gunwash through it

But tonight when using solvents it was totally blocked and congeuged everywhere in the brush

How is best to clean up after shooting acrylics?

Cheers yall

Usually just water or a little of the reducer for the acrylics is good.

Perhaps I didn't use enough, was all congealed and I had major issues today

Sorted now and onto the next project my sons phone case

 

[SiRoxx]

Solvent thinner or reducer will make acrylics go gloopy. If you have some and a respirator, a little acetone can be good for cleaning acrylics. But be sure to have a respirator. And keep the acetone away from any rubber o rings as it can cause then to swell.

damn you guys are pros

Gonna think about quads, I don't wanna embarrass my self

 

[Mike115]

Nah we play lots, we're crap really [emoji23]

Getting hyped for my new pad now though.

Are there machines that can make stencils? My cutting is genuinely poor

Only use the gun wash if you have an issue after cleaning the acrylic paint out. Just water or the specified thinner/reducer for the paints your using will clean the airbrush just fine.

Got ya, I think that's my issue, resolved thankfully

Lasers are a bit hit n miss unless you spend a lot of money. Cheap ones are only good for etching onto plastic or wood, well they were last time I looked. Cameo 4 great bit of kit for small projects. East to use with the software.
