Great colours. I would love to try a swirl finish one of these days.

yes nice finish Barry, I bet it takes heaps of practice to get the paint/thinner ratio and temperature correct so the swirl works

Any pics of the swirl tub?
Sure mate. I just used a cardboard box. Lined it with a garbage bag. Added some gaffa tape for structural support and hoped like hell it would hold. Used the fish tank heater to help control temp
wow thats a cheap option Barry to use as a tub, well done !

My cardboard box just broke. 120l of borax and paint just flooded my patio. Wife's not happy. Will need to buy her shoes ..... Quickly......
Perhaps more gaffa tape on the next build

Sorry mate I had to chuckle when I read this, it sounds like something that would happen to me. Don't worry the missus will get over it... new shoes will definitely help speed the process though./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from barrylicious on April 25, 2014, 18:32
