Anyone do any Silk Screen there bow specification on there bows??
Does the screen need to hinge to keep the print clean?
:dunno:
I had 2 spec. screens made for some bows, this is the first print that came with the silk screens.

"Hybird"?? :dunno:
yep
How do you apply them?
Thats really a great idea! I've not seen that. What a great way to do an unusual font, or if you are like me and can only draw stick figures, to actually have some legible writing on the bow.
"Hybird" should that not be "Hybrid" ??
I'm going to try Acrylic paint, the thick stuff you get at walmart.
I will take the silk screen off this frame and make 2 smaller frames .
Yea my hand writing looks like crap too. I've been wanting to do this for a while.

Brandon Stahl did silk screen for his bows
Do you need a finish over the silk screen and if so, what is compatible?
I've been using VHT wheel paint on my bows, so I will be using that.
This is all new to me :dunno:
They make permanent high viscosity inks for silk screening. That's what I use for my logo on bows. Has to be thick enough to not run back under the stencil.

On there website You can use HSA High Solids Acrylic also, so I have some at home.
It will wipe off with a damp rag and I have used it under the finish. :thumbsup:

They messed up the lower part of the Y and I will get them to remake it and add the " " also

Hybrid is misspelled, unless you are meaning something else.
That looks great :thumbsup: Very professional. It's amazing that the detail is so crisp and not smeared with that process.
Personally, I like the Hy-Bird
Dang, I see it now Hybrid :knothead:
I smeared it a couple time pressing down to hard and I need to make the 2 smaller frames.
I like it. Just correct the misspelling. Looks good. JF
That will be cool! :thumbsup:
I thought you meant Freebyrd tho... :biglaugh:
It does look fine, clean sharp edges. :thumbsup:
Thanks guy's
I'm pleased with it. :thumbsup:

Mine is not a silkscreen, but uses the same method. I cut my own stencils and use a bristle brush to apply the ink. Also tried using a brand in the beginning, a carry over from my furniture building days, but it is too dicey to apply reliably on risers.
That looks pretty crisp onetone :thumbsup: Is it a stylized snake?
Those are some good looking risers too!
Looks cool, riser too
The ink or paint that you guys are using must be thick not to bleed. Does it sit noticeably proud of the surface?

Yeah the ink I use is thick and will not flow at all. Does stand a bit proud when the contact sheet is removed and has some texture to it from the bristle brush. I like the brushed texture that is why I use a brush and not squeegee. As I apply coats of finish I very lightly sand the edges of the logo with 600# paper. When it is done there is some just detectable texture remaining. But no edges that can be felt.
Thanks for the thumbs up guys.
Knuckleheads HYBIRD can be the model of the bow with a double meaning.

Awesome! What type/brand of ink or colorant are you using?
It's on the first page, Acrylic paint from Walmart, it's thick.
You need to mixed it with water for painting art work.
