LOL.
THat just reminded me, I have a bunch of ink jet transfer paper that I have no use for. Mayeb I'll do an anime shirt or two.
OOO!!!
Better......
I'm going to put a clear coat on a guitar I'm fixing up. I can use the old transparency film trick on it.
What is it?
1 ) Print a full color graphic on an ink jet transparency sheet, and trim off any excess transparency. Leave about 1/4 inch near the edges of the graphic.
2 ) Spray a coat of clear on a flat surface.
3 ) When the paint is nearly dry but still tacky, put the transparency ontop of the paint, ink side down, being careful not to introduce too many air bubbles. DONOT MOVE IT AROUND AFTER ITS ON! otherwise you'll cause the inkjet ink to smear.
4 ) prick the air bubbles with a pin to release any trapped air.
5 ) Add several coats of clear paint. (usually about 10 coats of clear on a guitar is good).
6 ) cut back with a wet 10,000 grit sand paper to smooth out the edges of the transparency. DONOT OVERSAND.
7 ) add 2-4 more coats of clear
8 ) buff-polish it up using ultra fine polishing liquid.
Instant guitar graphics!
