Much respect to you and your crew because without them he couldn't do his job so fast I he had to keep stopping there prep work and his skill go hand and hand I salute you guys
@bennco pulque is right. It's a teflon sheet with heat resistant tape. I also use the tape to hold down my transfers on windy days. As for pressing the shirts, I have automatic presses that I can adjust the pressure on. I haven't really had that trouble with the collar. The teflon just makes it easier to clean the iron. Try having the collar just outside the pressing area. I do that on hoodies. Hope this helps.
Love the Vid's Rich. Thanks for posting them. I've learned so much just on your setup that I want to do already. Don't think I'll ever get the script down like you do however lol. But we can try : P I hope to have my setup going by next year. I have 2 setups to do in the fall this year. Then I plan on turning on the heat!
Well let me just say every show has it ups and downs. This particular show is good to me considering there are 6 other painters. I make a comfortable living. In this 10 minute video I do about $200 . Thanks for watching.
Hi Takayla. Yes I do make my own stencils. I have a program that allows me to design my stencil. Then I take a piece of thin poly carbonate material or acetate and cut it on my vinyl cutter. You can find poly carbonate at almost any plastic supply place. Get the thinnest they have. I get them in 2'x4' pieces. I cut them down from there to the desired size. Hope this helps a little. Thanks for Watching.
What up Cyber! No kidding, LTNH. The thing I used is called a spot gun. It's like a mini power sprayer. I put acetone in it. It works great with dried paint. I use it when I get stubborn scabs in my tip. It knocks it right out. Here's where you can get one, silkscreeningsuppliesDOTcom/screen-printing-spot-cleaning-gun.YT won't let me put a url. It will also remove most stains from shirts, that's what it's made for. Look into it. I can't do without any more. Good to here from you, take care. TTYL
@knittycakebaker This is actually an old set up. I had this before I had a trailer. During the spring season I use my tent more often and during the fall I use my trailer. Thanks for watching it's greatly appreciated.
Man, I got to get my skills and timing up...you rock brother. I've been making cake with air at the flea markets and thinking to get into the fair later this year. I will study your vids to gain pointers...your're awesome.
And THAT, kids, is how you make money! You're waaaaay faster than I ever was when I hosed shirts in Gatlinburg in 1988! Fast, easy designs that sell, super quick one-stroke lettering....you've turned it into entertainment with that kind of speed--very nice work!
Oh, sure, I still airbrush....it's just virtually impossible for me to work Gatlinburg now.....for starters I'd have to spend a fortune buying all new gravity feed guns for hosing shirts plus all the hoses, quick-disconnects, spare parts, quarts of paint, etc.....right now all I have are 2 Iwata HP-CH's, 1 CM-C Micron, and a couple of Paasche VL's and ya really need a gun for each color. Do you go to Gatlinburg to airbrush?
+sped17373 No sir...I've been taking orders online thru a couple of places...done a couple flea markets...an a couple small festivals...kind of easing into it..lol....those Custom Microns are really nice
When I arrived in Gatlinburg in early March '88 I had only ONE Paasche VL airbrush....had to save each week's earnings and buy more guns and all--back then we could buy three bare-bones Paasche VL's for $100....then hoses, bottles, etc. I later learned that (back then) it was highly unusual for an unknown artist like myself to just start right off in Gatlinburg--normally artists started out working in Pigeon Forge and then worked their way up to slinging paint in Gatlinburg when they were good enough. So yeah, excellent for you if you can get to squirt shirts! Have you got any of your work online that I can see?
@Autopsy76 Sorry it took a while to reply. But yes it's called a spot gun. You can find it where they sell silk screen equipment. Michael's or Hobby Lobby might have them. I put acetone in it and it blasts the scabs of paint out with a quickness. If you have a frozen brush the spot gun will clean it like new.
Sears Craftman 6 horse power 20 gallon. Although all you need is a 1 horse power 3 gallon. I only use a big one so that it doesn't come on as often. Thanks for watching.
At it again Big Man! - Looking good.. Coupla questions for you. I see that you have some sort of fabric or pellon taped to your heat press that you use to set your paint.. What material is it and what sort of tape do you attach it with? I would think that the heat would melt any sort of tape..
Also - When I set my paint on my shirts, If I keep the shirt on the board, my press has a hard time actually putting pressure on the areas around the collar - this is due to the fact that the collar is a bit thicker than the body of the shirt. - So the body of the shirt right around the collar doesn't really get pressed down. Does adding this fabric on the iron help this? - Again, thanks for posting - Love seeing the working side of this.
Do you custom make your stencils or do you purchase them, I cant seem to find any large enough, or large enough blank sheets :( I love your work!!! And thanks so much for sharing your video and advice!!
wow, was that the one and only, THE Pat Gaines? lol. I agree bub. Been watching your vids off an on since 2011. They helped me out a lot, Thanks for posting bub. Oh and I just saw where you replied (forgot I even posted here haha) Thanks for replying. I'll have to look into those spot guns this time around.
That's because I'm not taking any money. The order taker is to the right of me outside the frame. We take orders on 1 side and hand out the other. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Is the humidity bad there? And does it affect your paints? It is kind of bad here and it causes all kinds of hell...I have 4 water traps in line..and a separator..still have water on bad days(which are frequent)... also, do you still sell the feather flags?
Humidity is bad at times but I've never had trouble with it. The heat might give me a little more tip dry than I would like but that's about it. Very, very rarely do I get moisture in my line.Yes I still sell feather flags. Thanks for watching.
Hey Rick. I was watching (yet again lol) and was wondering, what are you doing @ 6:30? Looks like you used a gun or something to clean a nozzle cap? Never seen that done before. (IF you don't mind telling that is :P )
There are some Iwata Neos that are fairly inexpensive. If you can go to hobbylobby.com access there 40% discount coupon and it should only cost you about $40. Thanks for watching.
Adrian Valentin , hey, are you talking about Jaime, the Airbrush artist that I knew? Someone told me that that's how he went out. Sad, very sad. He was a great artist.
@pulquedelmejor Glad to see you're still watching. Thank you for the support.
Lovin the new setup!!! Nice to see you in action again!!!

Happy Holidays Brother!
you are a master hands down I'm just learning air brushing and man what a inspiration you are man
+Joey Jimz Thanks for watching. Glad I can be an inspiration to you. Best of luck and whatever you do, don't give up.
freakin mind blowing! you deserve a break my friend! curious to how much a shirt is..(trying to estimate your time vs. income on 10 minutes lol
Also - When I set my paint on my shirts, If I keep the shirt on the board, my press has a hard time actually putting pressure on the areas around the collar - this is due to the fact that the collar is a bit thicker than the body of the shirt. - So the body of the shirt right around the collar doesn't really get pressed down.

@GUNZNHOZEZAIRBRUSH YUP!!! I sometimes play music videos or if it's really slow, watch a movie. I have one in my trailer also.

Have you had to go up on your pricing with all the inflation?
Sure have. Still have a few cheap ones but for the most part I went up. People understand it oddly enough. Thanks for watching.

Good Job richhern1, Im a beginner...how can I display my business without money transaction showing... like in your videos?

Cybergodd
Hey Rick. I was watching (yet again lol) and was wondering, what are you doing @ 6:30? Looks like you used a gun or something to clean a nozzle cap? Never seen that done before. (IF you don't mind telling that is :P )
