Members gkelm Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 Great stuff...some really nice colors/swirls there guys! That brownie is gorgeous...would have never thought of that combo. So, other than under a lamp, no need to bake in a toaster oven? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alistarr* Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 no!i'd be cautious with the lamp as well - mine started to create bubbles at first until i pulled the lamp back a little way. that said, i think i applied way more paint than i needed to, and way too thickly. still, it turned out pretty good to my eyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gkelm Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks Ali...not that I have a lot of extra time on my hands, but I simply must try this. I guess layers of clear coat must help achieve a smooth finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lukin Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 Looks like a 4 year old painted those boxes . Sorry just my humble opinion . I wouldn't waste my energy on it. If there was an effect I really liked that happened to have a swirl paint style I would still consider buying it. If it sounds good then thats all thats important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KovachianOne Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 And to think, the folks over at TGP are paying $400+ for Landgraff pedals with the same paint jobs. You should make clones, call them the Land-Giraffe, and price them at $550 then have a friend start a thread ranting and raving over the juicy warm tone; they'll sell like mad over there! Boutiquery and capitalism; a match made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't talking about yours in particular. In fact I think yours turned out better then most I see. I was talking about them in general. At least you could be bothered doing a DIY project unlike me that gave up and couldn't be bothered after about a day of considering making some of my pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skibum1999 Posted June 7, 2008 Members Share Posted June 7, 2008 Does anybody here know if water-based screen printing ink will work for the project. I figured it was just like acrylic already thinned with water. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted June 7, 2008 Members Share Posted June 7, 2008 i don't recommend putting the paint under a lamp or in an oven. A lot of times, all you're doing is hastening the drying process when all you needed was patience. Quick drying and excess paint are a recipe for disaster, like bubbling, smearing and crackling. Happens a lot in my experience, which is why i don't bother anymore. And that stink sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
