For  a while now, I have just been using any old lid I could find to make my planets with. But I've been having problems with the rings showing up, or the lid moves, or it wont come off. im sure these are problems everyones had somewhere down the line. I've tried using less paint around the edges of the planets, but the black ends up sticking anyways. I had one stick so bad last night that i had to yank it off and ended up dropping it right in my painting. so my question is ;


are there any recomondations on lids, a certain brand or techniques i could use to get along a little better with my lids? any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It sounds like you've got the right idea as far as less paint... that will help with the lid shifting as well as sticking...

here's a few tips...
**dont put the lid down until the original texture has had a chance to dry or set...

**use less paint with your initial texture so that there isn't a lot of paint underneath the lid and it will dry faster...

**once you have the lid in place try not to use too much paint around it...

**try not to leave the lid on for so long that your new color around it has a chance to stick to it... work faster so that doesn't happen.

**also, if you're using a small lid that might 'float' a bit use something to weigh it down like a spray can, heavy rock... anything that will give it a little more weight to help keep it from shifting.

my lids (listed by size):
holiday popcorn tin lid,
frying pan lid,
folgers coffee can lids,
ben & jerry's ice cream lids,
cap to a big jug of Margarita mix

I'm sure there's more info... if i think of anything i'll add it in!
Good luck man!

I still have a lot to learn... but I'm trying!

I've found that the best "LIDS" are the ones with the sharpest, finest surface. Like tin cans. I have also found that rubbing a little wax on the parts that touch the paint also helps. But just a little.

I realize this is "post dated" a few months ago but seeing how im new I though I'd drop my two cents in on the conversation.


 


Like Lex said the sharper the edge the better. You realy want to minamize the contact that the lid... Stencil has on the painting. And the dryer the painting is the better the outcome.


 


I find that people have the most "Ring" problem when they are shading the planets. try to minamize amount of shading paint that you apply. and make sure its not tacky or wet when you put down your lid.


 


I use a number of lids for my planet stencils. any round thing I find in the house that I see, I find my self saying... OH YEAH!!! PLANET!!.  The best thing I have found so far, are the burner covers that I got at walfart... i mean mark... mart. These covers offer a large stencil that is very very light and a decent edge that SO FAR has left clean planets. You can find these in the pots and pans area of the store.


 


Hope this helps
