steppingrazor spoke about it on this very thread. basically strip the foam good quality acrylic with plently of fabric medium. i use some non permanent masking fluid too, its basically liquid latex so it gives it that ability to stretch a bit more.

a soldering iron from any hardware store or a woodburner(better) from an art store. i dont live in the us but ive no idea about names of stores but im sure if you ask for a woodburner/ woodengraver they will point you in the right direction.

just use it to dry it out and a little bit more. you can actually see it drying.

a hairdryer can do a pretty good job of heatsetting paint but for some other stuff an oven is the way forwards. but watch it shoes melt/burn. hows about some engraving tips el i remember those mr cartoon forces you did. ive got a pretty damn good woodbuner and a steady hand and although i can...

just a thought meth while ive got your attention, your one of the few people ive seen other than myself who have added parts to the shoe namely straps. now personally i hand stitch them all from a flat peice of leather. then hand stitch them to the shoe because any cobblers ive been to never do...

and that dye is the same kind of thing that ive tried. it gives rubber that playground swing kind of patchy rubber colour, as if its been recycled. its good for some jobs where that effect could look good but as you say its expensive and theres no getting a flat solid colour in my experience.

lets not get pedantic with the comparisons, sony, audi etc. im sure you got my point. i agree angelus does have its faults but it certainly remains the best one stop package for customs that there is. i dont use the metallic colours though as they as you say lack viscosity and pigmentation. i...

just get good quality brushes from a good artstore. and yes for a factory finish you would need duller. although the glossyness of angelus isnt a problem because you can use it to create patterns in one colour or other effects. i would be a lot less happy with it as a paint if it was always...

steppingrazor, i will guarantee that angelus will outlast any paint formula you can make. i know bikers that have been using acrylic/textile medium mixes for 30 years on jackets and immediatly changed when i showed them angelus because it is so much better. i realy do not care who says it, if...
