Alumahyde+ krylon webbing

[n4ue]

Do it to your stock, you won't regret it. Just finished my first one, looks amazing

I've been wanting to do this forever. I have a lot of Krylon paints, including the 'stone finish' types. I have never seen the 'webbing' style. Way I ask where you got it?

Ok ill break it down, the base coat was desert tan aluma hyde II from brownells. Then i webbed it with krylon black webbing (michaels arts and crafts) then i dusted it with coyote aluma hyde to darken it up. The coyote is too dark IMO to use on its own. I normally wouldnt use krylon on its own, But the Krylon cures into the alumahyde exoxy and it wont wear off. You dont even have to bake it, just let it air dry

I used to buy Krylon webbing spay at a local dust collector (scrap booking) shop, but I think they dropped all but a few colors, white, black and gold I think. It used to be also available in green, red and gray.

For different colors of web I used the enamel paint/Testor's plastic cement/lacquer thinner mix sprayed with an airbrush , this one medium-dark gray web over a Duracoat blue base.

The mix ratios I used...
Paint - Glue - Thinner.
25% 75% 1/4 tsp Very fine webbing
50% 50% 1/4 tsp Medium web
75% 25% 1/4 tsp Heavy thick narrow pattern.


Another one, white over pink....:p

Where do you get alumahyde

[Luke45]

Where do you get alumahyde
Brownells is the only place. It's like 12$ a can and a can can do probly 10 stocks, no baking required just 2 weeks of
Cure time

Luke45, I went to the new Michael's store in town today. The only Krylon I could find that was even remotely close to 'webbing' paint was Krylon PN 18212 "Obsidian" which is "Stone textured paint". No webbing paint anywhere.
Do you have a PN for your paint?

thank you!

Thanks David. I might have missed it since it's in a smaller can than normal. ha ha
I'll try again.
One thing about this store, all the spray paints are 'locked up'. If you go to Wally World, it's obvious why.
People 'try' the paint all over the shelves, etc. Darn rednecks!
I also found some on Amazon.....

Finally! Good 'ole Amazon... Found the Krylon Webbing paint, in white. Gonna try it on the BMag, first. Nothing could possibly make that POS stock worse... ha ha

nice

[teele1]

web spray also works great over DuraCoat practice spraying on cardboard before you spray your stock to get the feel of how the web lays down

Can anyone attest to how well it holds up? I just finished rattle-canning this guy O.D. and I'm already thinking it would look real nice with some of that black webbing over it... I've always liked the weatherby stocks with that look

This is the google photo of the weatherby stock I speak of:

Does it need a clear coat layer over it for added durability?

[David_4]

The ones I've done have held up well.

That weatherby stock looks exactly like a 22 I did in OF green and krylon webbing. I put a few coats of satin clear on mine.
