  • Here I try a Molotow Liquid Chrome Marker on costume jewelry and a Lego Knight! I also go into details of what worked to protect the surface and what didn't.

    I was a little worried when you pulled out lacquer finish. You need to be very careful when airbrushing with lacquers because if they get in your eyes you could severely damage them. There are a couple of model painters on RUclips who went color blind because they didn’t wear an eye shield

      Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to pin your comment here so people can take the proper steps to protect themselves if they decide to use an airbrush with it.

      Do you think dipping the item in the coating and letting it drip dry might work?

    Found a good protective coating for that chrome pen? Neat! It dulling easily is quite the recurring problem for most people that want to restore chrome items easily with that pen. So neat to see a way to coat it without dulling it.
    And have you heard of a chrome paint called “MIRROR” by Stuart Semple before? I’ve heard it’s pretty good too and doesn’t need a air brush, but regular paint brushes instead.

    Ooh! As a doll collector this will be an amazing marker to use to touch up or color jewelry to make it shiny, I think since most of my dolls are for display only I wont have to worry much about smudging. I do wonder however if the pigment stains other surfaces. Thanks for the cool video!

    • @SterlingKisses
      @SterlingKisses  Год назад

      ​@3D Printing Today after degassing, the investment is poured into a flask that contains the parts we want to cast. One of my earlier videos, "casting jewelry part 2" goes into more detail. You have to use jewelry investment. Regular plaster won't take the heat required for burnout. Riogrande is a good place to look for tools and supplies.

      The Alclad will help to protect the surface finish. Otherwise the mirror finish becomes dull when touched. Alclad II was the best product I found when testing.

      Yes, they sell refills for the marker that you could pour into an airbrush instead. Or you could open the marker and pour out the liquid if you can't find the refills.

    Can you polish the lacquer? 🤔

    • @SterlingKisses
      @SterlingKisses  8 месяцев назад

      That's a good idea. I don't think it's damaging the liquid chrome when it's applied, so polishing the lacquer might restore the strong mirror finish. I'm not sure how to go about polishing the lacquer though.

      I didn't test any other lacquer so it may depend on the brand. Someone else here in the comments mentioned using Tamiya x22 clear gloss with success.
