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.

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.

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:


I cut a body filler spreader to use


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.

Buggs

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

I smeared it a couple time pressing down to hard and I need to make the 2 smaller frames.
