@tv101 I'm hoping to record some quantities as I go along, weight of powder and paint but not sure if my scales are good enough for small sizes. Maplin Electronics was a good source until it closed. I...

Discussed this with my chemist friend yesterday and he suggested using graphite powder in acrylic paint or lacquer If that works @rocknroller912, you’ll find a ready market. All the “proper” stuff is...

I bought some from Cat Music on eBay - seems to work - once applied and burnished it has a metallic sheen - conducts well - it was quite expensive for the volume but as I didn’t need a large quantity ...

. I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. I've got an ancient tin of Galvafroid paint, I painted some on a peice of wood as a test, but it wasn't conductive.

I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. @rocknroller912 I haven’t actually made any or experimented with making any but I have looked into it before. It is all inexpens...

During the summer Mark was shielding control cavities and asked if there is an alternative to the Stew Mac paint from America. Discussed this with my chemist friend yesterday and he suggested using gr...

@marcel Piet? No, his boss Klaas.

Reply to all: No, bugger all......... In Dutch: Nee, geen reet..... Me thinks I didn't behave well..............

Just unmasked these and put clear coat on. As I unmasked, the paint had bled under some of the masking. My workshop is really cold so maybe the line tape has moved in the low temperature. When I put t...

Done some more work on these pickup covers today. Got them in a solid white base first, then pearl white base, then masked them up and had some fun with red and pink pearls. These paints are super br...

Sorry I missed out the guide coat picture. Spray this on before flatting (sanding) the primer. It’s only a light coat and it will all get sanded off anyway. Attachment : 3E9E6304-1D0B-4110-86E2-F...

Once you know how to do it, it’s easy, you can apply the same principle to whatever you are painting. Prep Prime (spray) Flat sand Paint colours (spray) Clear coat (lacquer) Flat sand up to and incl...

We need a finishing course that covers (pun intended) stuff like this too. I'm still spraying lacquer over my headstock waterslide transfers. That's ten coats now and I can still see the edges of the...

More painted pickup covers being done today. I've got some beautiful pearl colours for these, I'll probably get them in colour by Friday. Just prepping and priming today. Attachment : IMG_2020120...

@peter-johnson Thanks Peter, I’ve thought about colouring the bobbins too. At first I thought I would be afraid of scratching them by playing but then I though, it might look quite good if they do get...
