I tested my spoon around the first of the year. For the most part they held together good. I did lose some in the rocks along the Lower Niagara. Im still looking to get a better airbrush set up. This will be my big purchase with my tax returns.

Alright, i found some time to DN a couple spoons. Everything seemed to go decent. I only splats a little on my floor when i ran the screw in the first time. I really didn't realize how much this stuff would stick to your hands. It's now about five days after i did this and i still have clear coat on my hands. Gloves next time for sure. its a learning process tho. Next step is testing them out in the lower Niagara river in the next couple of weeks. Cant wait!

I found some jars at a local grocery store. I think they were $8 for a dozen. I didn't think that was to bad of a price.I also DNed my first couple spoons. I'll write and about that in my other thread.

Thanks, I was searching eBay for jars. Maybe most of those were vintage collectible Ball jars. I'll have to go on a local dollar search. Or like you said, ask wifey to pick some up.

Im looking at Ball canning jars on ebay, pretty expensive.Even with the shot of Bloxygen, will your jars be reuseable?

Dick Nites Top Coat, How Do You Guys Preserve It?

OK, I need a little help here. I have searched "Tapping the Can" for the last few hours. I cant seem to find the actual Technic to tapping a can of DN. From what i have read this seems like the best way to keep it. I just got my first pint in the mail, and for sure don't what to ruin it. Thanks for the help. PS- im using the clear coat for mostly casting spoons if it makes a difference. -
Whats up bluetickhound? Hey,no problem with me with you being "that guy". I didn't want to be 'that guy" that looked like the new guy. lol. So thanks for the heads up on that! Thanks for the info on the Airbrush too,i'll be shopping around. And the complements on my spoons are much appreciated! Now i wont go and get a big head about it, but it definitely gives me a little confidence with my new hobby.

Here are a couple of my first efforts. I'm going to post more in the gallery. My biggest problem so far is my airbrush set up. Its a Testors airbrush model set, which has the self propellant can. I clean the tubes and caps after every time i use it with warm water,like the directions suggest. I also use the small cleaning needle on them. But every time i go to use it again the paint is gummed up and doesn't spray right. Now, lately I've been having to soak the pieces in Acetone after every use. Kind of a pain in the butt. I'm thinking about upgrading to a set that uses an air compressor. Any suggestions on this? Good deals? Thanks.
