Im about to do some stamping on a rubber hose, want the paint to look like the rest of the KV factory hoses.
Anyone know what paint to use?
I've used commercially avaialable stamping inks that come in squeeze tubes, PK Neuses is one of the companies there is also a company in Texas that sells it but I can't remember the name right now.
As with most things the technique varies the end result very much. What I have found is that in order to not have the hose smudge, thin the ink out with a little bit of acetone on a platen, spread it out with a roller and have it a little tacky before you put your stamp in it. Using this technique the results I have seen is that the stamp ink bleeds into the hose almost and gives an appearance of not much more gloss than the hose itself.
