Re: painting rifle stock with web finish
Just an FYI that I'm sure you'll figure out when you hit that first practice squirt....
The nozzle on the krylon webbing paint throws a tallish-esque skinny fan pattern, not a round one like regular spray paint. The pattern is wide enough to hit the entire height of the stock if you made your pass from the tip to the butt plate, holding the can about 12 or so inches off of the stock.
My technique calls for a heavy wooden dowel, or broom stick, or hunk of rigid copper pipe affixed in the barrel channel with a wood screw/washer through a stock bolt hole ,and another one through the front swivel stud hole. What you have is basically a barrel length handle to hold on to the stock with.
I start down one side with a pass of webbing, then rotate it to the top of the stock and make a second sweep, rotate to the other side and make a sweep on it, then a final rotate to the bottom of the stock and a final sweep on that. Each pass will overlap a little so that is where the practice comes in to adjust your speed of your sweep to get it to come out even.
DON'T try to short throttle the nozzle to get less webbing paint as it may spit and spatter a glob of snot if you do. Use the stuff full throttle and figure out how fast you have to move to get it right. It comes out a lot faster than you might figure it would.
I usually sweep from the tip of the stock towards the recoil pad on all four passes and never back up with it, or let it stop short. You can always add a little squirt to help a thin spot but you can't take it off without starting all over again. Start your spraying out past the end of the tip, move a steady even speed, and don't let off until you've cleared the recoil pad. Do that and you won't have any problems.
I hold the stock out away from me by the "barrel" and level with the ground. I hold the can of webbing straight up and the fan pattern I mentioned just works best doing it that way. A wind will mess you up so get on the lee side of the house if it's blowing.
Post some pics when you're done.........
