  1. I use a filament from an incandesant light bulb. Put a rod in the core for rigidity. For the tip, mask w tape. Drop some CA down the hole then hit it with accelerator. The maskin tape will make the CA conform and the rod in the core wont let it seep through down the spring. I use medium thikness CA in order to avoid capilary action. Then paint as desired
  2. I run my mixes through a program. I take the cmyk of the color i want and this program gives me the ammounts of paints to be mixed. My limitation is a drop (0,5 ml). If the program tells me for example: To make 10ml of a particular color 6 ml of black 2 ml of blue 1.5 ml of white 1.5 ml of yellow Im just makingup these colors but, the pippete gives the ml quantities, but when i get to the decimals, i use drops (google a drop to ml converter). If it breaks down to even smaller fractions, i increase the overal paint quantity to 20ml for example so that i get to that minimim base measurement of drops. Some times its a waste of paint because i wont even use 2% of the color i just made, but i store it anyways. Maybe one day it could be useful. I sometimes use my "eyeometer" and round off the decimals cos then id just be a rivet counter. No judge will ever put a colorimeter on a model... Hope this is understandable and it helps. Cheers
