hand pour multicolor question
« on: 09/09/12 15:59 UTC »
OK,
So im trying to work on my handpours. I want o make up some two color hand pour nano fry and small fry and was wondering how/what you guys use to work in such small areas,  I know some of you use spoon, every time i use a spoon its a disaster.  Do you gur modify your spoons to give i a tighter pour(pouring into small cavities?

Jason,
If you read this how did you pour/inject your nano with the with the head and tail different colors? 

Any help is greatly appreciated..

Ma and I have an antique business and while snooping for store stock I dig thru boxes of old silverware and have found that the old 'fruit" spoons do a very nice job. Unlike the rounded teaspoon so common on everyone's tables today, fruit spoons have a narrower end, still rounded. The trick to spoon pouring is first to keep the spoon very warm and second to keep the bottom side and edge you pour from clean of residual plastic. Spoon pouring isn't for everyone. It requires a great deal of patience.

The small small frys are done with a laminate plate I believe.

JR made the Nanos in the pics. He shot them then replaced their tails and shot them again.

For the laminate he used the plate.

I don't know if metal measuring spoons will help.. I use the metal ones to measure flake/colorant.  I know it can handle the heat and clean up is easy as the plastic peels right off
