    Caleb, thanks for ALL your videos. Your informal style of presenting the information shows your true knowledge and experience as opposed not knowing what your talking about and hiding behind scripting. Keep up the great work!

    You can add a fishing swivel between the wire on your part and what ever your hanging it on if you want to be able to rotate it with out having to hold it up. I did this in my paint booth for when I’m doing large lots of parts.

    One of the things I do differently is wrapping the Screen tighter on the piece I'm painting, gives a better pattern.
    Clean Out nozzles available YET ?
    THANKS for the vid. Great Tips.
    OH Forgot, I also use VARIOUS SIZES OF BINDER CLIPS ( METAL ONES ). They hold much tighter than the JUNK

    Thanks for all the videos Caleb. I have painted several guns with Aluma Hyde and have had great success. I try to do my painting during the summer months and if it’s something I can’t bake. I hang them all in my attic. It’s a good spot, no light and gets pretty warm, perfect conditions for curing paint. That’s my only trick.

    I have seen people save lettering, numbers on scopes by carefully painting them with white out, spraying the item, then scraping off the white out with a paperclip. But that was with rattle can. Can you do that with aluma hyde?

    If you are going to hang your optic like that, I would recommend putting cotton balls or cleaning patches between the glass and the wire to avoid scratches. Pinstriping painters tape is perfect for covering the magnification numbers or indicators.

    What about a handgun version? And save your time just use the Aluma hide! I have tried standard paint from Home Depot and you will have to repaint and repeat after using that and then it will be super thick

      I dunno, remembering to tell you to cover markings that weren't on the optic he was using, remembering mistakes that first time painters wouldn't think of, and remembering that thing about leaving the caps loose that he'd only know if he'd done this before all kinda point to a level of organization.
      Also, you commented on a 13 minute video like 7 minutes after it was uploaded? That's kinda weird.
