Fluid bed, or fluff and stuff

[CrappieHappy]

I was curious what process you use. Fluid bed, or fluff and stuff? it seems that you would have to have alot of fluid beds setup, or constantly cleaning to change colors etc. I know if custom painting , several use the brush method.

I have about 8 cups with my my main colors. Not real problem for cleaning between colors. Shop Vac does a quick job of cleaning cups. Use the brush to sprinkle detail.

Most hobby tyers seem to use the F & S...If your into production I can see where the Fluid bed would be helpful.

I use both but have developed a method I can't disclose yet . Hope to get a patent . In its crude state its great for single colors.

F&S.... with a twirl!!!

Will someone tell me what "Fluff and Stuff" is?

 

[Jig Man]

Put the lid on your container and shake it to loosen the powder or stir it , "fluff"... After your jig is heated dip it into the container of paint and swish it around, "stuff"...

Ohh,I'm a stuffer then,lol.

F&S. Though, technically, I just stir the powder paint and then make a fast, c-shaped swish through it with a heated jighead.

Fluff n stuff for single colors and brushes for multi color stuff

Fluff and stuff for the base coat and brushes for the other colors.

 

[hhawkins]

Well, I'm not sure. I don't use fluid beds or don't have one. I heat my head ans dip them in the paint. So would that be fluff and stuff?

 

[Jig Man]

Yes mam... That's it

 

[CrappieHappy]
