Hello ,
Got some Rice paper for printing logos, but was thinking of drawing by hand on it instead.
Anyone knows what ink can be used on Rice paper that will not be ruined when the PE resin falls on it?
Is acrylic ok? Posca pens??
Cheers and good waves.
You need a water-soluble ink — not solvent soluble.
Safest bet do a little trial sample just to be sure.
Sounds like you have something pretty cool planned. I have considered doing the same, but never tried it yet. Hope you post some pics!
I’ve used a Paint pen (Posca type) before with no issues …with Epoxy
Ok.
I am going to run the tests then.
Acrilic marker and acrílic ink with brush
Will post the result of the tests cheers.
any reason your using rice paper and not just brushing/drawing direct on the blank?
Yes there is, lack of trust on my artistic skills.
if something goes wrong on the Blank there is no retry.
Cheers and good waves.
I’ve done a few paintings on the board - it is kinda stressful!!
micron architectural drafting pen
like a feltip rapidiograph
pen like a fine point sharpie
but water based inque doesnt run with polyesther or
resin research epoxy… stress is for people pursuing
therapy professionally hobby ding repair is therapy.
making a mess is fun. poinys come from tripple 0 to like 8
when a big blob of color energes in the lam out of control
you can detail the blob into an illustrated detail like a
cartoon vw bug or a three legged dog or a picture rendition of
buzz lightyear…
Haha all true!
I tried to find some old pics of artwork that I’ve done directly on the foam, I found a few… (the first two were kinda experimental, they were done with colored tissue paper applied to the foam with clear acrylic floor finish). The Wing Squad lettering was difficult to do directly onto foam.
I also found some artwork painted directly on the board, but not on foam. Like painted on wood or fiberglass. The beachcomber board was painted on the first layer of glass, then glassed over with the next layer. This was easier than painting on foam. That board was given a faux-aging process, where I painted on the foam some yellowing and some fake ding rot, to make it look older, that was fun. Then I glassed it, then painted it to look like an old sign, then another layer of glass. I still have the board, and no issues from doing it that way.
I love the fake sign idea, that is awesome!!!
Thnx, a high volume fun gun kinda board from several years back. I added the rail channels later.
