coolnammy1 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 So i was trying a new recipe to make some paint for my mop today but the streaks dont come out as solid. I was just wondering on some suggestions on how to fix the problem. I have a couple ideas but i'm not sure. 1. too much thinner? 2. need to cut out the regulator? any help/advice for mop paint making would be really appreciated. also, if anybody is willing to share what they add to their mop recipes to make them stain hard (please dont say dot3 break fluid....), that'd be great. Here is what it currently looks like. Here is how i want it to look (borrowed pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8er6 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 you know, for an unneeded thread, i have to appreciate the fact that he tried it first before asking us. too much thinner for one, you can try taking out the flow reg. though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skag Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Don't take out the flow regulator, just give the mop a good squeeze while using it, but if worst comes to worst just fuck around with the amount of thinner you use and eventually you'll find a mix you like.

dooshwad Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 im almost positive you used an acrylic paint and thinned it. what did you use? acrylics dont thin, they dont mix with thinner too well.. you need enamel paint, no acrylic to it. I had that same problem when i first tried making my own paint mops and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that same problem when i first tried making my own paint mops and such. actually its the exact opposite ); i used rusto oil based enamel and in the 2nd picture the guy used acrylics.

KARE? Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 id say take out the flow reg would be the first thing to do what recipe for the paint did u use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skag Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Taking out the flow reg will just produce a fucking mess. I USED to do that before I stole my brain from a blind man and realised I made more mess than tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
