akriverrat Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 this has probably been mentioned before but im going to share anyway. i did up some 4 oz spearheads in firetiger colors and fully cured them before i added stripes with black magic marker. after i add the stripes i reaheat and dip in my mirror gloss but anyway i had a couple that had some drips that collected at the nose of the jig. since i was going to reheat them anyway i filed down the drip thinking it might gloss back over after reheating and it worked. might depend on the jig you are painting but you can file drips off and get it to blend back in just like it wasnt even there. make sure your file is clean.

reeves Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hey Rat, That is a real great tip. Will have to file that one away with all the other heavily used repair methods. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hey akriverrat, I don't get any paint drips, but I will have to paint one really heavily and try that just in case one day I accidentally put too much paint on............Good tip. I'll try it and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 The file trick works great. If your getting drips lower your heat of the head. I did this not to long ago and my OOPS dropped dramatically when painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
