I used the measurements posted in the Silverfire v2.5 thread. 50ml Napthol Crimson Red, 25ml Phthalocyanine Green, 16ml Ultramarine Blue, 9ml Cadmium Yellow. So today I decide to try to gather some data so we can have some frame of...

Agree, MM. If I were to do it again, I would definitely do it the way you described. I am just trying to brainstorm a way to get me from where I am at to where I need to be and it's the only thing I can think of. What color is the...

I thought of a way to determine the exact amount of each color I used. I measured each tube on a digital food scale which is accurate to the gram. All I need to do now is measure a full tube (need to go buy one) and then I will know how...

Okay, so I need to: 1. Stretch the white spandex over the frame 2. Dust it with 8+ coats of S-I-L-V-E-R 3. Remove it from the frame 4. Apply white spandex backing layer 5. Re-stretch top white spandex over frame/backing layer 6. Make...
