Edwardkenway Posted August 4, 2019 #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.

Jörgen Posted August 5, 2019 #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.

mic-art Posted August 6, 2019 #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. Here is a video tutorial: mtaylor, Edwardkenway and Canute 3 Quote
