Gunsmithing "Webbing" a stock

[GottMitUns]

I have a customer who wants orange web on a black stock and I have not found that color comb listed anywhere yet. Does anyone know of a stock maker offering orange web? Or how about you favorite way of adding web to a stock? I accidentally webbed a pair of work boots one time trying to inject black dyed epoxie with a large syringe so I'm guessing i can fall back on that if nothing else.

Thanks

You lost me with the boots, but would a Cerakote job with mesh give you the look he wants?

Wannashootit,

I'm not sure what a Cerakote job with mesh looks like, do you have pictures,and is it something you do in your shop?

The black web on the boots happened when i was injection epoxy into a void in something. there was enough air in the syringe and i had mashed it hard enough that when the void was full and i pulled the syringe out epoxy kept running out the end<kind of like a calking gun when you don't release the compression on the plunger.

In the 3 or 4 steps it took me to get the syringe over a trash can to keep from making a bigger mess i managed to drizzle a pretty respectable web pattern all over my pants and one work boot. it stayed on the boot for over a year!

Take a look at Black with red webbing

B&C might get you close enough

Manners has a color web on carbon stock, right at the top. It will be a wait time though http://mannersstocks.com/color-and-finishes/

You could do a marble from mcmillan, like 95% black and 5% orange? Not webbed but sort of the same effect?

Wannashootit, I'm not sure what a Cerakote job with mesh looks like, do you have pictures,and is it something you do in your shop?

The mesh effect done with spray paint but you get the idea, just do a base layer, lay a mesh of some sort over it and do a second layer [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"453","width":"757","src":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/--YSaRFxKNwU\/UO3dyo2PvHI\/AAAAAAAAAJ0\/DZ9AnoaZfyc\/s1600\/Screen+Shot+2013-01-09+at+12.58.25+PM.png"}[/IMG2]

Have your customer get the stock that they want, paint the base layer in Black. Using orange cerakote or DuraCoat, get some webbing solution and add it to the paint. Control the pressure to your spray gun in accordance with the directions of the webbing solution, and the paint should come out in the wedding affect your looking for it.

The larger the nozzle in the spray gun, the better ... There was once a thread on this subject, but (I think) got lost in the transitions to/or from Scout. Lots of good info in that thread.

What's "webbing solution"?

I used to own a high-pressure airless that could literally spray thinned drywall mud...but I don't see how anything other than a thinned paint/solution can be pushed through the same HVLP's and airbrushes we use for Cerakote?

It is the product that is added to gel coat or paint and frequently used on boat hulls to give a webbed pattern on the deck.

The original wedding look was on choppers back in the 70s they used lacquer automotive paint you would use it with no thinning and very low pressure with a conventional spray gun and it would come out that way but not sure if that paint is still on the market because of the e p a there is probably something on YouTube about it they do make a paint additive to do the same thing or a craft store will have webbing in a spray can buy not sure if it comes in orange good luck

I think there are some hydro dip options that are similar to that. That would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. Vinyl is another option if the pattern is fairly simple.

isn't taste a funny thing.... I would pay extra not to have orange webbing or orange of any kind on my stocks. Maybe I'm getting boring but I still like a nice figured walnut or an unpainted real carbon fiber twill stock.
