How 2: Home Made Stencil/thin Cap

[Kayone707]

alot of people have been asking me how to make home made stencil/thin caps.

heres how...

1= Get a regular cover off any krylon rusto etc.

2= you want the center part. Begin to cut off the excess plastic

3= Once you have center part by its self, its time to cut enough off to
fit your finger in. i find using a bench grinder works fast. if you dont have
access to a grinder, use an exacto. be carefull though the plastic cracks easy.

4= After you made the space for your finger, get a needle, thumb tack,
pin etc. and heat it up with a lighter till it gets red hot. Then make a hole
in the middle and move it around in a lil circle once or twice. Dont make the hole too high or too low ,if you do no paint will go through.

5= Put it ontop of the can to make sure it fits good, if you grinded
(cut) too much from the center part the cap will fit too lose and not stay on.

6= When using the stencil/thin cap make sure to tilt the can upside down
and flick the paint out, due to the small about of paint exiting the hole it
will build up in the can and leak out and that will make a fucking mess and/or
paint will spill onto your piece.

7= As you can see, you can get Really thin lines (i didnt shake the can up
enough so the paint isnt opaque as it would normally be but you get the point)

I tried to make one once and the thumb tack bent :(

Good tut though

[Kayone707]

^Heat it up first

[NiL]

Yeah I do 'til it's red still bends than like roots the cap up.. Maybe it's the tack it was an old one that sat in the sun.

[DEKOR]

[Kayone707]

youve seen this one already?

i just took the pics 3 hours ago haha :lol:

and you dont get how to press the cap?
i turn'd the the stencil 'center' around to show that paint builds up. make sure the cap is pointing to the hole.....

:lol: a lot less than cutting your line too muchs, then do it again, then chut it a bit too much, then paint again then get it just right







that's one sick idea you got there hepos... god i hate you :lol:

that definitely could have been posted into the how 2 thread, but this thread is a pile of shit, and we're the only ones to blame for that!





so, cool tutorial! now go clean up the how 2 thread and post it into that one ;)

(im gonna delete a few shit post there if we all delete a few it should be more tutorials and less post whoring)

[HoodRichSucka]

Thank you sir

[Tagger101]

now if i had a cap any where :blink:

[Lester Berns]

To those in shock and awe about this "new" idea, its only new to you... we made these going back
to 1994, and they were originally called LA or "hex" caps, since hex is credited for being the first to do it... and not to dis you, but there are technical flaws in your process... yours will be insanely messy... theres another way...

[Kayone707]

^if you can, post up the different ways.

[settybomb]

but kay, how would this come in handy?

[blind1]

^ mad fine detals

[settybomb]

my throwups dont need detail.
I need a can that comes with pussy magnet.

[Buhda420]

the best caps for insainle fast fills are ghost caps there like 25 centimetres wide

the best caps for tags are the ironlak stock caps and pink dots

the best cap for a nice out line ny fats

destroy all bananna skinies!!!!!!!!

[meRlin68]

wut ive been thinkn is: culd u make 2 really small holes 2 make duble lines? that wuld be nice in thin n wavy bombs

[Kayone707]

why would you want thin bombs?

the cap is for pieces...

[Enemy]
