Shadoweng Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 What do you use to keep the graphite and rust powder from continuing to come off? Do you seal it with anything? Looks great BTW. Merci Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean luc Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hello I do not put anything to fix powders graphite is slightly oily it secures well if you put a liquid product the effect is lost tomv87 and Daniel Leduc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes but if this gives a beautiful metal effect there is a major problem with lead (graphite) powder! Indeed, it is quickly loosing its bright look over time. I guess this is the result of an oxyding process. So, use it cautiously. This may be appropriate if you want to get this dull look but otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 What about using a metalic pigment like from Mig or AK instead? I like the technique described and was thinking of using something along that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
