Friendly tip from a house painter. The bleeding is due to a way too generous first coat of paint. When you're working with stencils (or even painter's tape), the first coat needs to be done with an almost dry brush or roller (or light mist if it's a spray can). You really want to just "seal" the edges with next to no paint. Once that first coat is dry then you can basically put as much paint as you want and your lines will be nice and crisp!
For the best quality of the product, the paint should be applied in several layers, the first black primer, then 2-3 layers of white or another color. The first layer of black paint, should be applied very thinly, it will cover the peeling areas of the stencil, so there will be no smudges and the print will look like it was from a store.
Thank you for the info. Is this in reference to acrylic paint, fabric paint or screen printing ink? Also is the black primer specifically a primer or just regular black paint?
why "used to"? we built something never seen in the modern world, 3 and 4th generation Punks, what other movement or culture has done that? usually kids do the opposite of their parents, Punk is the exception, we just need it to mean something again. The Rock against Reagan era gathered the punks together, yeah there were stupid punk gangs esp in LA, nut we were a movement then, not just a scene. i almost hope Trump gets elected so the punks will have a more important issue to fight, then all this genre shit where 77 fashion punks dont chill with Crassholes and Gutterpunks are almost extinct (actual gutterpunks, not the train hopping scumfuck kids (nothing against them just people dont realize they arent the same thing , a lot of gutterpunks were Anarchists and quite pokitical, middle class kids who said, if this veterab with no lrgs cant have a comfy misddle class home, even with that sacrifice (however manipulated and misguided) and there are 40K abandoned homes and other buildings, we wanted to show the extravagent wastefulness of the rich, by showing we could live off their refuse, the change they will throw in a dish and never look at again, the summer home used for 3 weeks out of the year, ok sorry for the rant, i just miss my tribe who have vanished here in PDX OR, and I have reasons i cant travel at the moment. I miss Unamuised and Resist at the X Ray, That goofy band Big Daddy Meat Straw, i think id trade off the rest of my years alive for 1 or 2 in the early 90s / late 80s
I discovered using gel nail polish is a great way to have a type of ink that stays on a lot of different surfaces. I have a spiderweb leather jacket (real leather I don't know what it does on plastic) and it didn't move, didn't flake nothing, and it's getting 8 years now. I'm speaking about the type of nail polish you have to cure, it's called gel polish (the type for french manicure is great because it's a very opaque white, as soon as it shows as white as you want you're good you don't need another layer) and then you cure it with the lamp and if you're brave enough there are top coats (either matt or regular glossy top coat, it has to say "non-wipe" otherwise you'll have to wipe it with alcohol because it's sticky and 70° alcohol on real leather is not a cool idea and then you cure the top coat you painted over the previous white gel and it really doesn't move because it's very flexible I find). I found mine at Emmaus which is thrift stores for charity, I think yours are called "Good Will", next to the curling irons etc. It might take longer but I think it's worth it. Edit : great vidéo by the way ! I tried doing my patches by hand, and linoengraving but it's always not really the results as neat as I want it. This technique looks perfect ! I'm looking forward trying it !
Need a free or cheap computer/printer? Public libraries. Most don't seem to mind the stencil prep part. Pulling out paint, however, gives them pause...😆
Great work by the way. I remember watching your videos years ago and I just got another TH-cam account recently and it somehow just knew to direct me right to you again. It's awesome that you're still making videos. Yours are definitely the best. I'm glad you have a good sense of humor. I'm so sick of punks that are too scared to crack jokes because they think they might be judged or something. Everything is so weird now. Maybe that's just on this side of the United States though. Who knows. Bunch of boring ass fashion punks
Have you ever done the reverse photocopy method where you use white fabric and spread any kind of stretchy glue real thin on the surface of a backwards photocopy and the fabric and then push them together and use a plastic card or something to make sure and get all the bubbles out and then let it dry and soak it in water and simply scrub the paper off and you get the most detailed patches you can imagine even though if you want the background black it's going to be from the photocopy so it's not super dark but I have made some amazing ones in the past and you can do full color if you want. You could also do it on jackets or straight on your pants if you want. If you spray paint the back of your jacket and just use the same technique but instead of submerging it afterwards you just leave a wet rag on top for a while and then scrub the paper off you can get some amazing results. I'm sure there are tutorials out there and you probably know about this already but I don't know if you've covered it yet. Like I said you could do a full color perfectly detailed back patch directly on the back of your jacket if you know what you're doing. It does take some practice though. It's definitely hard to get the glue perfectly flat with no bubbles or anything so you have to be pretty careful. If anyone reads this let me know if anyone knows about this method. I've been doing it for years but I've only met like two people that knew anything about it somehow. Personally if I was going to do it on my jacket I would just do a big back patch. It helps if while it's drying you get two very flat things and put the paper and fabric in between them and put the heaviest shit you have on top of it to make sure no bubbles form or to push any excess out. It took me a few tries to get it right but once I did the outcome was amazing
By the way it's usually best to use fin fabric because the glue makes it pretty thick and it seems easier to get rid of the bubbles and smooth out properly
Sorry for comment bombing this but I also wanted to let people know that if you get glossy rust-Oleum that usually works great for stencils and if you get a little spray glue or contact glue and spray a little on the back and then press it down everything comes out perfectly clean not to mention adding a little bit of weight around it while you're spraying it just to make sure none of the corners pop up. I have a glass jar full of nuts and bolts that I lay out on all my stencils even after spraying them to make them come out as perfect as possible. They do make leather paint but I swear the glossy rust-Oleum works just as well and it's so much easier if you're just doing a stencil

The primer is just a black acrylic textile paint.

Great video man. Punk rock ingenuity at its finest. Brings back great memories from the 80s and the DIY stuff me and my friend used to do.

Public libraries are a great resource!
if they flip you shit go at night and make it on their wall or doors , HUGE

They sell sponge rollers. I used to use the sponge brush but the rollers get a more even look

thank you :)
Do you have a paint you recommend?
I only use fabric paint, but acrylic paint will also work as well as screen printing ink.
@@reptil_diy Do you have a favorite brand?
@@jesterofnocourt nope, I just get whatever the craft store has
does white spray paint work too
I mean you could try but spray paint will eat away at your fabric over time. You can buy fabric paint in a spray can, I've never used it though.
What kind of fabric do you prefer for your patches?
I use black canvas, All black denim can work in a pinch as well but avoid anything with "stretch".
@@reptil_diy awesome ty so much
If you use that ”vinyl method” DO FUCKING NOT tape the freezer paper to the vinyl!! It WILL fuck up the cardboard
Good looking out 👈👈
