Will definitely give it a go as like you say the normal way seems to take for ever and my hand starts to get painful Colin, I just spray through the pad with the pressure set to around 20psi. You could give it a go though. I guess the main factor is how much you have pulled at the Scotch Brite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzas 5,107 Posted April 14 I was going to do this then I realized my lap was covered with tiny green flecks of scotch pad. No way I was going to blow that into my paint. How do your avoid that? Gaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way I was going to blow that into my paint. How do your avoid that? Gaz Gaz, I washed mine in the sink with soap and water. Then made a few passes with compressed air at about 25 PSI. No problems yet. I have tried both the Scotch Brite Industrial pad (larger holes) and the Heavy Duty. I also used scissors to "shave" off and thin the pad as to get the right thickness for this technique. What I have come up with appears to be madness but is working wonderfully.

Gaz I didn't do anything except give mine a good shake and a high pressure blast with the airbrush. 2 Gazzas and SapperSix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen some stuff on tinterweb where these are used for weathering/post shading but I don't see why they can't be used for black basing. More expensive than ScotchBrite, of course!
