why does the paint stop short of the tip and pile up?

Liner brushes usually have longer hair than most simple lettering quills. The extra length in hair is more than likely to use for a sort of resevior for paint to do longer strokes than the normal length quills.If the paint in the tip is expended after several strokes the paint futher up into the heel of the liner becomes tackier than the newer paint at the tip.This is the primary reason you see pinstripers and others using these longer haired brushes pallette the brushes more often than the normal length brushes. Often as not these longer haired brushes need to be palletted before and after each stroke to keep the paint further up into the brush the same consistancy as the paint that comes off the tip with each stroke.
hope this helps you,...

Thanks Timi, Like Randy, I never thought aabout "what is really happening" re palleting, I just do it!!

This will help me now, as I work at pinstriping.

John Lennig

ps, maybe the same "palleting" can be used by us humans..... trying to "move things forward...." ???? just a thought on this frosty morn.

I am lucky enough to have a whole bunch of 2 inch Outliners that Timi gave me some time back. Just yesterday I used one of them to help on a flame and graphics job on a racecar. I palette quite often, just about the beginning of every stroke. Some persons don't understand the idea behind paletting other then loading the correct amount of paint, when it can be done on the rim of a cup. Paletting not only loads the brush and flow enhancer but shapes it as well. Outliners used with a palette load up a little slower then swords because of the straight cylinder shape of the hair, but the bigger the brush, the easier it is to load.
And Randy, I've been known to give quite a few pointers to other more well known stripers then myself.

Hope this helps [Smile]

Randy, because my site is on a free server, I cannot post photos from it to Letterville. The other problem I have at this time is a scanner, I just haven't had the time to hook one up. And you know us stripers, we have so much cooking that time is very precious.
