Enough messing around, let’s see you finish a project.
Excellent progress! Hopefully you are enjoying the proccess.
Yah, credit to you mate, you gave me the reed switches and magnets idea.
Love the mask, even though we've all had enough of them lately.
Heh, Covid PPE masks and that mask - chalk & cheese. If I didn't wear that I'd keel over from paint fumes in about 2 mins.
Nice video - 'A careful, measured ratio - about this much ... with this much'
Great stuff!
some things really aren't that complicated....
Great video! I cannot get over how thin the paint is before spraying. Is it because you are using oil-based paint or should latex also be thinned like that?
Also, are you supposed to completely clean out the paint gun between coats? So if you want to put on 2 coats, you spray, clean entire gun and then sand and put on the second coat?
Can’t wait to see more of how this is all going to work.
Thanks buddy, that video took longer to put together than the woodwork did
Anyway maybe its useful to folks
. The main reason I use acrylic enamel is because of the solvent base. It dries fast which is a big part of the results! Water based paints stay wet much longer and make handling paint runs much more of a challenge. OND Tip #1.
Cleaning the paint gun is quick. As soon as I'm finished spraying the excess paint mix goes into a sealed jar for use later. I put a small amount of solvent in the gun, spray it through and its clean, ready for re-use.
I'll work on the PAC mount plate next, then I can test the prototype to see if it actually works. Fingers crossed.
