Edwardkenway Posted August 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2019 Hi all, When it came to putting a bit of colour on my mast I initially used a brush but the end finish was dubious as brush strokes were visible, while pondering what to do to correct this my better half suggested I use a sponge as this would wrap the mast therefore colouring it in one pass with no brush marks. Apologies if this has already been discussed. mtaylor, Canute, mic-art and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jörgen Posted August 5, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Yes, airbrush or thin the paint or paint with a brush several times. you can sand between the layers. But the easiest and best result is with airbrush. Edited August 6, 2019 by Jörgen mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic-art Posted August 6, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 6, 2019 I can imagine using a sponge is a great idea. I have used sponge for staining furnitures in the past and it worked perfect. It should work ona small scale too. A lot cheaper and easier alternative than airbrush i.m.h.o.
