Plaid:Craft - Martha Stewart Pearl Acrylic Craft Paint 2 Ounces Reviews

Martha Stewart 32112 2-Ounce Acrylic Pearl Paint, Tiger Lily
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I cannot review this product because I was sent a fake. The bottle of paint I received was not Martha Stewart and had a sticker over the original color (Ballet Pink) which said Martha Stewart, Mother of Pearl. The paint was light pink, nothing pearl about it. I have returned it for a refund.

I was looking for a product we used on our walls in the hallway to add light in a dark area. Since my original product is discontinued we found this Martha stewart pearl. It goes on thick so you may want to thin it out but thick is good for a full coverage. I need a thin glaze so we thinnned it out. Works great and brushes clean in water and dish soap.

I used Martha Stewart's Acrylic Pearl Paint, Aquarium to paint the outside glass back of my 5.5 gallon aquarium. I used a foam roller, and the paint glided on very smoothly. The first two coats remained translucent so that light could shine through. However, I wanted to mask the filter and the heater cords, so I applied four coats so that no outside light can shine through to silhouette the workings on the backside of the fish tank. I alternated roller direction first coat vertical strokes, second coat horizontal, etc. There are no streaks or unevenness to the color, which is beautiful, slightly iridescent and fairly true to the sample on Amazon. The paint stuck to glass without any problems and has dried to a hard finish. The effect is quite lovely and adds depth to the tank. When the fish & the tank decorations are added, it isn't immediately noticeable that the back is painted at all. I couldn't be happier with this product and give it a well-deserved 5 stars.

This pen writes darkly and densely on non-absorbent surfaces, without beading, and then dries almost instantly. Such a combination of properties is amazing to find. It really is a "universal" pen, as advertised.

These markers were purchased for marking handbell music which can have many notes in a chord. The superfine point lets me mark my notes without covering other notes on the plastic page protectors. They are easily erased when bell assignments are changed.

I have a huge selection of these chisel/point double tipped markers for over 10 years. I have used them an extreme amount of times since I am a scrapbooker/crafter. Then there are times where they would sit in my marker drawer, not being used. I also own many other types of scrapbooking double tipped markers, which are not as old as the prismacolor markers. I have to say that the price for these prismacolor markers are expensive, but well worth it. The pigmentation, and saturation of these colors are incredible. I dearly love them, and glad that they are still around. The other markers which some are not even a year old, have dried up rather quickly after only a few uses. To anyone out there that may question as to wanting to spend this much on a marker set, buy just one first. Try it out, I guarentee you will love them! These prismacolor markers ink color is also very true... I bought a brand name marker in black, and well it was more like a dark grey color, not black... Please, try these prismacolor markers, you will never go back to the other brand markers!!!

Bought this for my wife, it works beautifully.

Typical Badger quality, which for those unfamiliar with Badger airbrushes means exceptional.

Took a bit of fiddling to get it dialed in, no big deal and expected (depending on what you're spraying you will have to adjust the needle). The folks at Badger can't be expected to predict what color product every single customer is going to be using. My mrs. prefers to use gels thinned as little as absolutely possible, others thin them down to watery. Once we got it dialed (took about 5 minutes, most of which was spent familiarizing myself with the parts and how they work while reading the instructions and looking at the schematic) in she was very happy with every aspect of operation...and I quote "this is better than the one's we had in the bakery".

NOTE: This airbrush's airflow is continuously on so you will want to use a compressor. It's actually a very good thing as color does not collect in the tip and splatter everywhere when you stop and start. Definitely a big plus, unless you are using air canisters which will get depleted very quickly. In the long run it will be far cheaper to get a compressor or order the airflow valve for it's sister model (which is shown in the schematic included with the airbrush).

NOTE VERY IMPORTANT!!!! It does not come with an adapter for non-Badger air hoses and they are very hard to find locally! I ordered a cheapy airbrush/compressor set and was able to borrow a nipple from one of the cheap airbrushes but I had to hit the hardware store to buy some air tubing (exactly like the type sold for aquarium use). Anyway unless you have the proper hose or adapter already you will need to order one. It is NOT a fitting that you can get at the local hardware or wally. Even the hobby shops I checked did not have one on hand.

I needed a "beginners" tool set for a clay working class. I looked at many of the sets available on Amazon and settled on this set because it was a reasonable price for the number of tools received. Also, based on reviews of other sets, one of the things that sold me on this set was that most of the pieces were finished/stained (many of the other sets I looked at are unfinished wood). When I showed the set to my instructors, they were impressed with the quality, and when I told them how much I paid, they agreed $19.95 was a very good price. After spending a week working with the tools, I loved them. The only comment I have is that the clay cutting tool (the wire tied to two handles) is very sturdy, which is both good and bad: good when working with large, heavy pieces, but bad in that the wire is thick and when trying to cut delicate/thin pieces off the wheel, the wire was almost too thick, tearing the soft clay. To make this set perfect, it should have included a small sponge and a metal blade, two items that are needed when working with clay. So now I'll buy those separately.

I heard about this as "Shapelock" and for whatever reason, the company decided to rename it "Friendly Plastic". "Instamorph" is another name for the same material.

It's Polycaprolactone, Wikipedia has a great entry on it.

The pellets melt in 150F-160F water. This is hot enough to scald you but not cause a serious burn. I was afraid this would mean that kids wouldn't be able to play with it but in fact they can due to the low thermal capacity and conductivity. Within a minute or two of coming out of the hot water bath this stuff cools down enough that it's just warm. However it still remains pliable enough for kids to have a lot of fun.

When it does finally cool completely it's hard and strong. I'm used to Fimo/Sculpey which is really very weak. This stuff is suprisingly strong. Strong enough that I have yet to break a part which was fully cooled. I'd say it's as structural as the plastic in most kid's toys and actually a bit tougher (resistant to cracking) I believe there must be some crystallization going on. I made a device where the plastic acts as a living spring it flexes with a surprisingly high modulus.

I've made a number of things with it already a cell phone holder, a shoe horn, a cable organizer, even special hook to hold an IV bag on a light stand.

You don't use much of the material because any pieces you have are easily remelted into your next project. Once something outlives it's usefulness you simply melt it back down.

Recommendations:

1) Stretch out leftover pieces so they're not too solid this speeds up remelting later on.

2) Get the little container first unless you definitely have something in mind. I bought the 28 oz to start and despite using it quite a bit, I have barely made a dent as mentioned, you re-use any leftovers.

3) You can also use it as a glue. When it's heated to the clear state (160F) it is very sticky.

4) Make your parts in sections. When done, you can dip in hot water to melt the surface and then stick the sections together.

5) When making pieces, keep a hot bath (pot on stove) and a cold bath (Ice water) so you can soften/harden easily

6) Put a thermometer in your hot bath and try to keep it at 150-160

7) Don't forget that you can carve, drill, cut, and even tap the material once it's cooled

8) Be patient! There's definitely a learning curve to making good parts.

If you have questions or comments, or if you found this review helpful, please let me know!

InstaMorph has captured my imagination. I am a musician and tech junkie and thought the applications for InstaMorph would allow me to make stands, cases and handles for all my stuff. That it did and does, but it is so much more. I have repaired a cracked interior panel in my Honda Element (saving several hundred dollars). I have securely insulated and spliced two audio cables together without tape, heat shrink or solder. My toothbrush finally has a home. My mixer finally sits at the correct angle on my desk. I've disposed of my envelope/letter holder for something much more efficient and small. The switch that keeps breaking off of my organ is now replaced forever.

If my dad had this when I was a kid my toys would have lasted twice as long.

And it's strong. The thicker you make it the stronger it is (duh). But under stress it doesn't snap; it bends. It's tough. And the 12oz container goes a long way. I'm halfway through mine and I've made a ton of stuff.

This should be as common a household product as duct tape in no time, and in case you didn't read the description, it's reusable.

You need it in ways you can't even comprehend.

Honest reviews on InstaMorph - Moldable Plastic - 12 oz

I tried this product to make a part for my car and ended up making a scale model of the Eiffel Tower. This stuff is incredibly easy to work with. It stays soft long enough to work with it. It paints easily with a wide variety of paints. I recommend setting aside at least 15 minutes to melt the pellets and do the project. I obtained a great deal of satisfaction making something I needed instead of having to purchase it and the rest of the family had fun. This InstaMorph stuff now has a permanent home in my main toolbox. This is listed as a toy, but is as indispensable as my hammer.

I used this to cover up some fraying headphone cables. I must warn you though, do not leave the finished product in your hot car. All your precious sculpting/molding/sanding time will go to waste when the thing deforms because it is 90 degrees outside and your car is 110 degrees inside.

Sumi Inkstick and Inkstone Set Review

Sumi Inkstick and Inkstone Set
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
The ink is great, but do pay close attention to this line: "With incense and binding agent that release marvelous fragrance while ink is prepared." The incense is not at all mild. I can't store this even in its wooden box in my art bin; I have to keep it loose in the closet because if it's pent up the odor gets trapped and sticks to everything else.

The inkstick and its product itself is just fine, and I like the inkstone quite a lot. I just wish it wasn't so stinky. It smells like I have tiny Japanese hippies on my brushes.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

First of all, I like the large inkstone. I can grind the inkstick as hard as I want without worrying about spilling the ink out. The inkstone is solid piece, rough and strong. It is better than the other three inkstone you can find in Amazon.com. the inkstick is fine. I had tried at least 7 inksticks ranging from few dollars to 20-30 dollars. this inkstick is above the average. it is not stinky as the other review said. I did use it and purposly left some in the inkstone for two days. It doesn't smell bad at all. I had one about the same price that made my inkstone smell like a toilet in the gas station and gave me a great headache. That piece was only in my inkstone for overnight. I know it is recommanded to use up the ink the same day you grind it. But it shouldn't make me cleaning up the inkstone everytime. Again, for price worth, this inkstick is good enough. If you really want a professional inkstick, you need to spend at least $40 and above. I think the product description should add one warning that this inkstick contains natural Moschus (don't know if it is true or not, can't judge by pure smell), which is not good for pregnancy.

Best Deals for Sumi Inkstick and Inkstone Set

This ink stick is everything I was hoping for it to be. All my research pointed to tung oil 101 as the best ink sticks available. The soot is very fine and travels farther on the paper than my Japanese pine soot stick. The ink clearly shows all the tone variations and has a beautiful deep rich black.

One reviewer commented on the super strong incense smell. I personally love incense and was looking forward to "hippies on my brush." With this in mind I found the scent to be very mild but still noticeable. Kind of floral with a spice undertone.

I have used a variety of ink sticks and have gotten some with plaster filler in it or else a stench of burnt rubber. This is quite the opposite. I love this stick....

The ink stone is also great. Very stable and smooth.

Review of Plaid 30114 Wood Grainer

Plaid 30114 Wood Grainer
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I have been grain painting for several years now. We purchased a mid 1800's home that originally was grain painted and was painted over. So, I took on the task of turning things around. Windows & work completed upstairs, I began down. Half-way through, my trusted grain painting tool fell apart. Back to the store to get another-the same style & brand were no longer sold!! Tried a few others without success.

After searching online, I finally came across this one and thought I had hit the jack-pot! Not to be. . . simply put: it is terrible! I had gotten into a rhythm and could work quickly and ended up with just the right 'look.' Even had a local painter compliment me on my work. This one just doesn't cut it, no matter how I try to use it.

So..... all I can say is "it's terrible" and if you're looking for the 'right one' for the job.... keep looking!

Biggest tip is what ever paint/glaze your using for the graining coat, Put it on thin... To thick and it doesn't

work as well. This one is about 3 inches wide.
