What? I haven't used up enough storage yet?

Ok. Here's the 1st 5th E Priest in the shadows.

...and finally, our buddy Aziz, with light on his face.

Just took a count. 49 screen shots.

A new record?

Or the harbringer of condemnation?

Who can say?

But here is no# 50

For all those lookin' for what to type.

When you spray more than two coats, you start to build up texture even when spraying. On SuperPlex, the rear needs no sanding whatsoever.

If after you have sprayed two Coats of MM on a wall, or a Mirror, and you can see obvious areas of overt thickness, gently wet sanding those areas first, then giving the remaining surface a very, very light sanding will help even out the layer, and prep it for an even smoother application of paint.

Usually, a third "evening" coat is required no matter what.

Locked and loaded

A 3/8" nap roller will apply paint smoothly enough that as it dries, it 'spreads' out to achieve it's "lay'. The issue with that particular size is that if you put on a little too much paint, then try to work it out past it's "tack time", your gonna start to leave streaky, uneven areas that exhibit the texture of the roller.

Using a 1/4' nap involves getting just the right amount of paint on the roller, applying it quickly and evenly, and knowing when to load the roller again. Plus, because the coating will be thinner, and dry quicker, you have even less time to work your finish. But if done right, and especially on top of a previously "wet sanded" surface, the 1/4" nap roller will leave a ultra smooth finish that to the touch has NO texture.

Used a 1/4" nap roller on this one.

Boring Game.

Scoobs shots are looking superb.

Here's both of ours, side to side.

Thank YOU, chadm!

A few sucess stories is what we've been waiting to hear. There has been much 'hesitant' posting, and even more speculation as to the validity of both SM/MM & SD/MM LF as workable DIY screens, dispite the abundance of Screen Shots.

But CMRA & Myself have both "Been to the Mountain Top" and seen "The Light." (Light Fusion, that is! ) so we of course had no doubts. But it's the trust and the actual efforts of those like you, Scoob5555, and what others have recently done that give the whole idea the creedence it deserves.

Best of all, those with SM/MM or Sd/MM screens who attempt Screen shots to "show off' thier screens should be able to produce results that are far better than the ones that the "Old Guard" were used to seeing, and thereby decried as irrelevent. It's the screen that makes it possible, the PJs we already know do a good job, given the chance.

Please post for us the type of set up your using. It is a good thing to have a consensus of what is being used, and how many different PJs are involved. LCD-DLP-CRT, all can stand to gain something from it all, even if it is only the acquisition of a fine screen for a ridiculously low investment. THAT IS what motivated this whole thing anyway. The splendid results were just all the more "Icing on the Cake".

...and remember, all you naysayers, unlike the Shot below, we didn't hold a gun to anybody's head!
