BulletCushion Posted June 8, 2013 Report Posted June 8, 2013 Playin around with Krylon camo paint and tried out a camo pattern I saw on the web (4th pic). It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped cuz I need more practice with an airbrush, outlines shoulda been much narrower and not enough space between the hex patches. Probably gonna sand it down and try again.
asmurff Posted June 8, 2013 Report Posted June 8, 2013 Did you use a mesh bag for the pattern? I can't get any attempt at a home camo scheme beyond what a 1st grader could do. o I gave up and had mine dipped.

I used some Elmers spray adhesive on the mesh, let it dry for about 5 minutes then pressed it onto and around the stock. The Elmers adhesive works like contact cement but when only sprayed on one surface and allowed to dry a bit first works as a temporary adhesive and leaves little or no residue. Then just a few very light coats of paint to leave the pattern.
asmurff Posted June 8, 2013 Report Posted June 8, 2013 I use the Elmer's when I'm doing multiple pieces at once on the scroll saw.
