Arne Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Got the jigs all poured, from a doit horsehead mold. Has small bumps for eyes. Powdercoated them and now trying to make a dot for the eyes. Everything I have tried so far just makes a mess. Paintbrush, cut down paint brush, handle end of the paintbrush, end of a small file. So far everything dumps a spattering of powder, not just where I want it. Anybody have good ideas for this? Thanks, Arne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I have used in the past, a head of a finishing nail, end of a kids artist brush. Also you can go over the eye with a marker. I use black marker on white jig. Let dry and then go over it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanbt Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Hole punch the size eye you want in a thin piece of card stock, Christmas card, or heavy weight paper. I picked up a set of hole punches from Harbor Freight and a metric size set from Amazon. Place the hole over and center around the eye bump. Use a foam brush or just a piece of foam brush to dab on the eye. This should provide a clean eye dot since the card/paper will catch the excess paint. Once dry seal with some Sally Hanson clear nail polish or head cement. Same principle if using an airbrush.
