Absolutely super. What mesh did you use for the scales - they look like you shaded the mesh and got a great effect.?

thefishingfreak 03-05-2005 06:57 PM

thats thule or tool whatever you spell it. for wedding dresses.
i bought a roll at michaels for like 4 bucks.

i start with the plug completely black, apply the tool, then spray the colors. so the mesh really shows up 'cause it's black.
tough to get it clamped perfectly in place though.if you have a little gap under the tool it looks funky.

that one is exceptional - I have a problem holding the mesh in place and removing it without smudging the finish. I have tried the loose mesh method and it works fine as long as you do not ewant the scales to cover the entire plug. Also tried clipping the mesh - that works great as long as you get it off before it causes problems. I used spring clips - same as you would use on large groups of paper.

No end effects like yours. .:af:

check this out mesh netting how to
you gotta spray very dry coats and make sure the mesh doesn't move on you.
i use vise grips 'cause there heavy and help hold the mesh in place.
make sure the basecoat is very dry. or the mesh will dig in to it and leave marks. and don't remove too soon either.
