Noob Mono-Tub Question
    #6172486 - 10/15/06 04:45 PM (17 years, 4 months ago)

I just spray painted my clear mono-tub....was just wondering if that was necessary. Is it not possible to just have clear sides? Because my friend was telling me that I need a tub that light cannot penetrate, however the top is OK to be clear. Just curious. I mean it kind of doesn't make any sense to me for the sides to be as dark as possible.

Top and sides are fine to be clear, but you don't want the part where your substrate sits to be clear. Best results I've had from a tub setup to date are just blacking out the 3-4 inches where the substrate sits, and leave the rest visible.

Rubberized undercoating works well for this.  It's spray-rubber-in-a-can for your car.  You can find it somewhere in Wal-Mart.  :grin:

Nice, I bet that beats flaking spray paint. I'll have to check it out.

Try Krylon Fusion...It's formulated to bond to plastic and doesn't flake.  :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
