how about if i wanted to airbrush between the laminating and my hot coat, is that ok to do. it is best to use water based acrillic right?
dont go there …im out, hell tired surfed for 7 hours today 12’ and pumping im sure others will elaborate on your post… regards BERT
uh ok that really had no point, but yeah…
Hey I’m tired also. Spraying on a lam coat likes to run a little. When you hot over that, you might sand the hot coat down into your spray job, or beyond. Spraying on a lam coat gives nothing for the hotcoat to adhere to, so peels off, especially if sanded into slightly, or more. Color should be sprayed on the blank, so the glass job is a complete, by the book, structural laminate. Even something mundane like tinting or pigmenting after a lam is not advised, as runs, uneven spots, blotchy spots will occur. Besides, you don’t want it looking like a Surftech, do you?
yeah ok the problem of the hot coat not sticking does make sence. or sanding into the paint thanks.
I’ve seen the paint lift off of the lam job in flakes when brushing on the hot coat. The paint doesn’t stick well to the gossy (but tacky) lam surface. You could airbrush after sanding the hot coat, but you will want to seal the artwork with another coat of resin (gloss coat or additional sanding coat), just barely sand to the finish you desire. You wouldn’t want to sand through and mess up the artwork. I’ve seen this done a bit. It gives a better surface than foam for art, enabling you to get a bit more detailed in the artwork. Chet
