That's a really nice variation of chipping styles on the one piece Paul. 👍👍💛 Also a great tip about the clear varnish.

Nice post ... an old trick for airbrush artist laying vinyl over a airbrush painted surface was to tak the vinyl and slap/press it against your pant leg. It will reduce the amount of adhesive and then do burnish the vinyl down just gently rub it. ... Just a thought. ... Every time you repeat the placing the sheet on your pant leg with increase the loss of adhesion..

Very informative as always. Good pointers on the old mirror backing paint. I have ruined a couple projects removing tape from the back and peeling up the paint and scaring the mirror. Great move to hit it with clear to add a solid layer. I could have saved 2 projects if I would have known this 🤦‍♂️. Your videos are priceless to me!!! Keep em coming dude 🤙

I search 'self adhesive vinyl roll' on ebay and buy whatever is cheapest. For blasting I use 120 grit Aluminium Oxide at 30-40 psi

I bought my partner and her sister a trip to England plus paid for class with Joby's sign course on Fairground / Circus themes before the holidays. I did sign her up for Steve's internet class also. I had hoped you could meet up, but your were doing the house up at the time. Sorry. At my age and those old war wounds, just let can't handle a 20 & hour flight any more...be safe.@@happygilder

Jam jars were invented to drop your paintbrush into along with turps lol

Beautiful! Does that 1-shot clear paint also work for applying glitter as in some of your other videos?

@happygilder 6 ай бұрын

It does indeed :)

@questort 5 ай бұрын

@@happygilder Does it also work well as a backing paint? And regarding backing paint, is backing paint even necessary if the entire sign is already painted solid with 1-shot?

I'm not a member of the travelling community if that's what you mean. If you're talking about travelling in general, I've seen a fair bit of the world :)

@@happygilder Thank you for the answer. Seeing the several square and compasses, I thought of the possibility of you being a Masonic brother. I am going to miss the channel
