thanks for sharing all that information! absolutely lov it! i have a question tho. Im planning on creating a faux rock backdrop for my terrarium. I cant find any "latex acrylic paint" here, i can only find interior latex paint (not suitable) or for outdoor application acrylic paint/lacquer for fences and such. Would that paint work essentially the same way? Thanks in advance from Germany Flo
What is your mix ratio (paint to water)? Surely your not spraying straight paint. I feel like I would to follow it paint up immediately with straight water to get a mottled effect.
Yes, spraying those hand pump sprayers requires a deluted paint. The spray pattern shows you what works well so a little experimentation gets you to the best delution. Maybe 5 water to 1 part paint? More how-tos including free downloads at davehenderson.podia.com if ya like. Anyway, hope you have an awesome day! Cheers, Dave. 👍😎
This may be strange but I used to be a cake artist and I have A TON of edible airbrush food coloring. Think I could airbrush that onto my creations to stain the concrete/cement/mortar? Anyone tried using food coloring to paint or stain cured concrete ?
Howdy, thanks for checking in. Ya, ya never know what might work and what might not. So you can simply test your colorants in little test panels on any firm board or the side of a cinder block or stepping stone. Keep track of your amounts that you add to your cementitious materials to see how it affect things and you'll quickly find out what is colorfast or durable once the test pieces are dry. Rinse them with a hose or better yet a powerwasher. If the colors stay after that then you'll know they work!
