Thanks it was fun to play with the paint colors and make a few messes. It kind of reminded me of my childhood finger painting days. 😁

Perfect. I am planning to make a tin pannel ceiling with a relief design in copper finish in my cabin. It needs to be metal for fireproofing over my woodstove. Real ones are extremely expensive so I am planning on making my own. This way I can have the look I want without breaking the bank with real copper sheet. Thank you for sharing.

@@UpcycleDesignLab It's very pretty. And now that you've shown an easy way to get the hammered look I'll give that color a try!

This looks like a lot of fun, and I am definitely going to try it. Now I just have to find some aluminum cans, I don’t drink pop, and I live alone so I’m going to ask some family members to save their cans for me. A great way to distribute that paint would be dabbing with a sea sponge. Another way to get call textures is to come pull up some saran wrap and then open it up a little bit and lay it flat on your painted wet surface and let it dry. It will give a nice texture.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but the specific nozzle is what helps make the hammered spray paint have that "hammered" look, as well as some paint additives. I don't know if this applies to every hammered look paint though!

Hi love you videos. Can you glue sheets together to make a bigger sheet

@UpcycleDesignLab

Жыл бұрын

Hi - I haven't found any glue that is great for this purpose. E6000 will hold but it is hard to spread evenly. I have also used clear mounting tape that is made for metal but it is thick and doesn't make a flat even seam. My favorite product for attaching the sheets together is metal tape but it has its own draw backs. It is visible and it is not a very strong tape but it is very tacky and easy to work with. Hope that helps thanks for watching 😊
