Mica powder as flocking. Lessons learned.
Mike 1017 replied to Bills72sj's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Pearls powders are liquid soluble. They are used to be mixed in with paint to achieve the desired pearl effect. Any contact with any type of liquids, glues included will start the pigments to dissolve. There are tons of different colored embossing powder available. Good luck Mike -

Being a truck driver for 45 years I have seen a lot of deer vs vehicle outcomes. The one that sticks in mind Is when a deer crossed over 2 lanes, the medium and then crossed over to the other side and ran right into the rear quarter panel of a car. The poor woman never saw it coming. She probably stopped to change underwear. IMO deer are the stupidest animal on the planet. I don't know why they don't consider cars or trucks dangerous? They have seen what happens to others. Almost all animals run away from cars. But not deer. Mike

I found these guys while watering our green pepper garden. All of a sudden I see things crawling out of a hole in the dirt. At first I thought that these were big snakes. I relocated them down by the woods by me. I have told my wife not to plant rabbit food. Mike

I LUV these AMT kits. Soo, Soo, easy to build with no issues. The small engine leaves plenty of room to detail the engine bay. The paint is Trumpet Gold a Buick color from Scalefinishes. When am I gonna learn to be more careful when taking pictures. I broke off the driver's side mirror. UGH!

Very nice kit to build. No issues. The paint Custom Creative Mystic Black Blue Pearl Base. I gotta remove the white residue from the wax.
