Jupiter Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hey guys, i was reading some of the threads about swirling, and i had an idea... Okay, so you put the paints on the water surface, swirl 'em about, dip the guitar, then blow a little hole on the water surface so the guitar can have a clean exit, right? Well, to save yourself and others some time and exhaustion in the 'blowing a hole in the paint' part, couldn't you just use a hair dryer to quickly clear the water's surface? And could you even use the hair dryer to swril the paints around before you dip the guitar? Just a thought, let me know if these ideas would work !

the third eye Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 :ph34r: you probably couldn't swirl the paint with the dryer as you usually need something physically moving through it and if it did work you would get really boring patterns no intricate detailed swirls an idea i've been kicking round is after you dip the guitar in what if you used something to suck the paint out like a pump or something?

vh-guitarstore.com Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 its not difficult to move the paint after you dip it.....you can use newspapers rolled up to brush it away or even a little fan.....you cant swirl the paint with a hairdryer, it will dry the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neven Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 even if it wouldn't dry the paint, the hairdryer isn't allowing you much control over the swirl looks. i'm sure that a wooden stick is more suitable tool for that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 wouldnt the fumes from some paints and a hair dryer end up causing more of a burnt finish on you your shop and possible other insurance/legal complications? :o Sparks from electric motors and anything combustible is bad , add the heat of the hair dryer and i see a possible complication?

the third eye Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 i'd assume the dryer wouldn't be used on heat just fan but it still wouldn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 ever watch an electric motor spark, especially one thats not tuned and broken in. I race electric rc cars and we spend a considerable amount of time and money over this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
